I also have TA on Steam. Although I don't know of it being free anywhere... it's as good as free. It's super cheap.
Total Annihilation is definitely one of the best RTS games ever made.
Just go to Blizzard.com, make an account, then go to games... scroll down the bottom to classic games... and select Starcraft Anthology. Ignore the buy button and click the "download" button next to it.
Alternatively just follow this for PC:
https://battle.net/download/getInstaller...=STARCRAFT
And this for MAC:
https://battle.net/download/getInstaller...=STARCRAFT
But you'll still need a Blizzard account anyway because you have to sign into Battle Net to download the game. It's all totally free though.
All you do is download the installer for the game that would normally be just the trial version... but it's the full game now. In fact, if you click on the "buy" button for Starcraft the link is broken. You can't buy it anymore you just have to download it and play it

I think Diablo 2 is the best classic RPG ever made. Starcraft tops it for me but that's just because I'm an RTS lover.
I think Diablo 3 is fantastic too. But I do think overall Diablo 2 is a better game. I prefer how the town portal and potions and the skilling is done and stuff. But I do think Diablo 3 is fantastic too WITH REAPER OF SOULS.
