Free resources to help you put games together. Often they're called assets, it means the different images, music files, sound effects and other materials that goes into games.

Sometimes these pages disappear, some times the free selection's really limited. If stuff's not actually useful feel free to delete.

NB: The See Also section at the bottom has lots of links to places that don't fit neatly into other categories, for example sites with multiple different kinds of assets.
