Then you're trying the wrong things obviously, OTTD is excellent, Dwarf Fortress addicting, Orbiter spectacular and hard, Panzer General Forever is also excellent, so is Steel Beasts.
So...yeah, there's a few bad eggs out there but these days the freeware scene is booming, particularly in comparison to...say...five years ago.

It was one or the other and I just had to pick the wrong name didn't I?

And yes, I wish Steel Beasts was free too...

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is available as a free download now, IIRC.

And I do believe that one or two of the older Battlecruiser games are also freebies now, as well as Universal Combat.

If you can find it, Hardwar is a lot of fun. It's slipped further into the deep recesses of the net since I last looked around for it.

Oh right, original GTA, Hidden&Dangerous and Full Spectrum Warrior are free too.

Tried H&D and FSW in the past; FSW had rather horrible performance and H&D... can't remember, think I just had a disagreement with the controls.

I think I tried H&D a long time ago... never got the hang of it
