Best puzzle games ever! (free download)
http://fools-errand.com/
The new game "The Fool and his Money" isn't free, but three awesome old ones are:
The Fool's Errand is my favorite puzzle game ever. The word/letter puzzles aren't mostly that interesting themselves, but besides the Tarot theme, the structure of the game is unbelievable. The puzzles within puzzles are so complex creation, it's incomprehensible something like this can be created by human mind.
At the Carnival is a lesser sequel, just more puzzles without a monster über-puzzle (like TFE has), but nevertheless entertaining with some grim humor.
(TFE and AtC can also be found around net as DOS version, recommended for people of low moral fiber regarding copyright laws...)
3 in Three is third game of the series. I played it years ago, but got stuck and then had problem and couldn't play anymore. But having found this (official!) site, I'm playing it again, this time meaning to finish it (though these have required for me few hints from walkthroughs, mostly due my language disadvantage).

Another free download (about 100Mb):
Trials Legends
Trials series are physics-puzzle-motorcycle games, if that makes any sense. It will once you try it.
Trials Legends is remake, collecting all earliest Trials java games to single package.
If you've never played any Trials games - shame on you! (j/k I hadn't either...) - here's a good place to start.

...and today I finished the game!
  
I got stuck and quit playing number of times for various reasons, but in the end I finished it.
I played the first game, Fool's Errand, 18 years ago. I first played this third game 13 years ago.
This is one of my greatest gaming projects ever (though I do have plenty of those).
You can still get the games free - the Mac versions, possibly emulator needed (one available there) - from the link to creator's page in first post of topic.
The first game is best, second is easiest and this third... most varied, maybe.
