I'm experimenting a bit with Linux right now... Will Spiderweb's games run on Wine (a Windows emulatior for Linux)? I could try it myself, of course, but I could save myself the trouble if someone else has already tried. Posts: 950 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

E3 has been ported to Linux, don't know if the others will work on Wine. No reason they shouldn't. -------------------- Dragyn Bob "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!"-The Divine Comedy Posts: 1481 | Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00 |

Exile I, II, III, and BoE all run excellently in Wine. In fact, E3 for Windows runs better in Wine than E3 for Linux runs natively. Avvy 1 and 2 run fine, if a bit slowly, in Wine. They run a bit faster in Transgaming's WineX, if you want to bother. I haven't tried A3, but I'm sure it'd work fine. I haven't tested Geneforge. I'd be again surprised if it didn't work. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

i run gentoo linux on an amd athlon 1.0ghz. with a current build of wine you should get the games to install and play fine. i am running geneforge and avernum 3 just fine. wine-x is really just a couple tweaks to installers and some rudimentary directx support which really isn't applicable to games from spiderweb. and wine is an "application compatibility layer," not an emulator. emulators are for hardware.
