here I''ll see what I can add here
Buttonz and Tilez - good for making game tiles
Pixia - another graphic editing program
Open office.org - good substitute for MSOffice, good for design documents and such.
Java compiler and/or Netbeans IDE - If you want to use Java instead of Python or C++
Masm - Another language.
RADasm - Probably the best IDE I''ve ever seen, only drawback is it''s for ASM only..
Game Creation on the Cheap - article hosted here with a lot of good resources

I have one small addition some may find useful, if they wish to do 3D work.
Caligari Truespace 3.0 has been released as freeware. You'll need to register (also free) to get the key.
And for people looking for simple general purpose library,
Allegro.
