Theseus - Return of the Hero
A follow-up of Alien Shooter with a different protagonist, and running on the same engine. The game was released for free by Sigma Team at some point, and is available from their website:
Download Theseus - Return of the Hero

Legend of the Silver Talisman
Originally a shareware game inspired by Gauntlet, the full version of the Legend of the Silver Talisman was eventually released as freeware by the developers.
Download Legend of the Silver Talisman from Inter-Active Arts

Perihelion
Edvard Toth, author of the Amiga role-playing game Perihelion, has been very kind to distribute the full version at his website. With the original publisher no longer existing, this is the closest thing to an official liberated release of the game.

The download comes with a preconfigured Windows emulator.

Tiger's Bane is a hybrid of the shoot-em-up and simulation genres, combining side scrolling action with realistic elements such as limited ammunition, accurate modelling of weapons and their effects, flight dynamics that take inertia and wind into consideration, and a wide array of real battlefield machinery to fly, destroy, and protect.

Helherron, a classic style shareware RPG by Antti Kuukka, had been released as freeware in March 2006. The official website is down, but there's a functional archived copy where the latest, free version of the game (v2.04) is available:
