Micah, JOOC, what games do you play that don't run on Wine?
The only game I absolutely love that doesn't in LucasArts' Outlaws. When I
first started to use Wine, Outlaws didn't even try to run.
A few years after that, I tried again. Outlaws would give me the startup
screen and main menus, but the game itself would crash.
Tried again about 3 years ago. The game ran, but keyboard and mouse issues
made it unplayable.
I should try again... :)
