Freeware Game Pick: Pax Britannica (No Fun Games)
Pax Britannica is a hotseat multiplayer RTS game created for the Gamma IV competition, in which up to four players can command their own factory ships and send out fighters, bombers and frigates to attack their opponents' armadas. Every ship is colour-coded, and the A, F, H and L keys can be used if you don't own an Xbox controller to play the game. The type of craft manufactured and shipped out is dependent on how long you hold down the assigned button before letting it go.
You can only play against one solitary AI in this competition build, but the developers have promised to release an updated version with improvements and new features once it is ready in the coming weeks. (Windows, 9.01MB)

Cool game. Only had the opportunity to play single player so far, but looks like the player v player mode should be pretty good. And I never pass up a casual game for four players on one keyboard.

This game keeps crashing for me. I'm using windows 7, is that why. I really want to play this. My graphics card is even a 9600

If it crashes, try starting it with the "--windowed" command line argument. You can do this by making a shortcut to the executable and adding "--windowed" outside the double-quotes, at the end of the Target field.
