i have had alot of problems getting Wine to work properly too..alot of it comes down to the type of program you use and how complicated it is i think...I could easily get things like Winzip to install and work, i think i once got ICQ2000 to install, but i could never run The Secret of Monkey Island...not even in DOSEMU =o( nor Maniac Mansion for DOS As for other games...I went to my friendly local Linux store Everything Linux and bought Quake3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, Heretic 2...and Rail Road Tycoon 2. If you have already bought any of these games and dont wish to buy them again for linux most of id's games have free binaries you can download for various platforms. All you need is the data files for each game which you can copy off the game cd-rom for windows (or which ever platform you may have it for).
hope this helps you.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brock H.

My main issue is that of wine. Wine seems like a good idea but it never seems to work. I've seen screen shots of other people getting it to work but even in our local LUG I never saw any one acctually using it. Is this because it's so hard to setup or what? And are there any linux gamers out there who can attest to easy of use and usability of WineX for playing games? Sorry I know it's a lot to drop out there for a first post.
