are played in your computer after installation using the CDs that
contain the software, downloadable pc games, and the online
games. Many websites provide you with the downloadable version
of the PC games.

games are free and they can be downloaded on the internet free.
Some pc games are free downloadable games but are shareware.

by the number of times that software is used. Trial versions of the
software are also available which are time limited or feature
limited.
