	Is it possible to play games on a linux computer? I'm building my own computer mainly for entertainment like graphics, video watching, and surfing the web, but decided I may want to run some of the lower end games, like Roller Coaster Tycoon and things like that. ------------------- Goodbye Micheal, thanks for Thrillerin' us.

	You would need a Windows emulator called WINE. It does a fairly god job, but I wouldn't trust it to run everything soothly. ------------------- \| Questional \| DEVPEN \| DW NeoWiki \|

	In Directx 8 and under land, WINE is great. In Directx 9 land, WINE is OK. In Directx 10 land, WINE is no-where to be fine. In OpenGL land, WINE is perfect.

	Use appDb. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3781 Only like 1 in 10 games fully work and even then they are mostly pretty glitchy. ------------------- "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." - Katharine Hepburn Xbox Live: matt2224 PSN: mh2224
