Most of the games listed fall in the ABANDONWARE category, and
unfortunately this does not mean that they are free to copy, download
and or distribute.
See the following interesting article at Wikipedia:

Thank you for your help.  I knew that most of the games I listed were
probably "abondonware," but I wanted to know if any of the ones I
listed were not.  Your answer was well-oriented to the question, but I
would like to know which games are "freeware."
