Despite what is displayed on this entry, 0 A.D. is not a game that got released in 2010. This game has been in development since 2000, at the time the plan was to develop it in the Age of Empires 2 engine, as a total conversion mod. The developers quickly felt limited by this engine, and this became a stand-alone game project using an in-house engine. In 2009 the source code of the engine and game (including the art, not only the engine code) got released under an open-source licence, and the development had been ongoing ever since, with the most recent release (at the time of writing this) being the Alpha 27 published on 2025-01-30. If you don’t know what open-source is about, you can see that as the most long-lived "early access" game distributed for free, developed by a team of volunteers and without looking for any kind of profit. Despite the game not being complete yet — it lacks a single player campaign with a story — it is already on the level of many commercial games with regards to single player skirmishes and multiplayer.

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
