Hi Petr, Storm Dragon and I are working on a faq/howto on this subject, but playing games under wine is problematic at best. Certain games such as Shades of Doom have technical problems playing under wine. For instance in Shades of Doom if you press enter to open a door the game will crash. I've experienced similar difficulties with Sarah under wine as well. Other games like Jim Kitchens games work alright provided you get all the necessary packages installed. Here is a basic list of things you need if you want to run games under wine.
* Install wine 1.3 or newer. The newer the version of wine you have the less problems you will encounter. * Using winetricks install vb6run, vcruntime2005, vcruntime 2008, dinput, directmusic, directplay, directsound, xaudio, xact, and xinput. This should setup up most of the basic dependencies you will need. * Download and install Open Sapi for wine from sourceforge. Do not let it update or change your speech-dispatcher configuration or it will cause issues with Orca. * Install Jim Kitchen's winkit which will help add missing dependencies as well as give you the basic menu system for his games. * Install games you want to play or test under wine. That's basically the procedure in a nutshell. However, I will say though if you are running pulse audio you might have to make some configuration changes in order to make wine run better with pulse audio. The other option is to install the alsa-oss package and do something like "aoss wine gtc.exe" to launch something like tank commander with wine and using alsa-oss as the default sound driver.
