With Mint and a few other Distros, I found PlayOnLinux good for testing those games that wouldn't play on WinXP to run okay. I got CrossOver for free, but haven't tried it yet. I fix other people's Windows computers that I hardly turn on my WinXP or Win7 computers much these days. However, I do need to find out if all my old Pinball games work on Wine, etc. Did anyone ever buy the old BigBlue Disks in the DOS and early Window's days? I remember a sort of stick animated thing to watch and wish it was one of the Xscreensavers. I'll have to dig those out of the closet and do a Google search one of these days.
