Diablo 2

Game Homepage
A Hovering Soccer-like 3D multiplayer game.

Hoverball is a 3D, interactive, client/server, multi-player game where two teams of players each control their own hovercraft, attempting to knock a large ball into goals at either end of a large, enclosed arena. The hovercraft float above the ground riding on a mostly frictionless cushion of air.

Heretic 2

Game Homepage
A simple turn-based strategy game.

This is a rewrite of an old PC game, motti. The aim of the game is to conquer enemies' capitals. This is done by conquering enemies' territories. Each player may attack, defend, or perform a guerilla attack on a turn. Any territories conquered during the gameplay become occupied, which may not be invaded on. Any territories cut off from the player's capital are conquered among the encircling players. When there are no unoccupied territories left to conquer, all territories become unoccupied again.

Icewind Dale

Game Homepage
Real Time strategy game in its purest form where army organisation is critical.

XBattle[AI] is a realtime strategy game in it's purest form. You are fighting on a graph (map) where certain nodes continously produces energy (troops) and you fight by drawing arrows along the edges where troop movements should occur. Obviously, this oneline description is an oversimplification of the game since there exists lots of options and more interesting features than just moving the troops on a graph. XbattleAI adds the possibity to play against computer controlled players and to choose AI algorithm for CPU opponents. If you are not familiar with Xbattle, the game may look a bit confusing at first. A quick and easy tutorial is distributed with game. It really worth a try...

Installs Unreal 1 under Linux

Chunky's announcement on Linuxgames:

I've put together an Unreal I installer for Linux for if you have UT installed and an Unreal I CD. It's like the old unrealI installer was, but it's cooler for several reasons:

It doesn't complain about opening vortex2 when you try to start a new game
It has modified openUT stuff for things like prefs dir being ~/.loki/unreal
It uses Loki_setup
The secondary storage footprint is much smaller, since most stuff ends up symlinked out of the UT dir.

Additional System Requirements:

A working UT installation

Unreal I CD

Neverhood

The Neverhood Chronicles: WineHQ Installation Guidelines
=====================================================================
This document describes _a_ way to make the Neverhood adventure game
running (?) using wine on Linux.
Note that it's not tested too much, yet.
Any suggestions, corrections or so are pretty welcome.

=====================================================================

1. Prerequisites
----------------

Working WineHQ installation emulating Win98 with sound configured.
I've tested it on alpha version 20050725 built from source, as well
as on beta version 0.9.3.

=====================================================================

2. Installation steps
---------------------

1/ copying files to HDD:
These files from the game CD should be copied to HDD:
data/hd.blb
setup/nhc.exe
setup/smackw32.dll
setup95.exe

Copy them to a directory accessible to wine, let's say
<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood
(where <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES> is full path).

If you prefer to run the entire game from HDD (just like I do),
copy the game CD content to another directory accessible to wine,
let's say <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/cd_content

Note that using the game CD as the data-disk should work, too,
but I didn't test it. If you want to use the CD as data disk,
you should only have to set "Data Drive" entry in
the registry template (see below) to wine CD-ROM drive
(let's say "D:") and have your CD-ROM drive accessible in wine
on the letter of course. If you succeeded, let me know.

2/ finding-out your PID:
Run
$ wine <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/setup95.exe

The installation wizard should appear. Just below the funny
picture of Klayman you should see your PID in form
12345-678-9012345-67890.
Note the PID down and chose "Exit" (the installer failed to install
the game, at least for me).

3/ modifying the registry:
Add the lines below to your ~/.wine/system.reg, filling your own
paths and PID. Supposing your root / is mounted as Z: in wine,
it should look like:

[Software\\DreamWorks Interactive\\Neverhood]
"Data Drive"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood\\cd_content\\"
"PID"="<MY_PID>"
"Installed Directory"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood"
"Run File"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood\\nhc.exe"
"KBPS_OTHER"=dword:ffffffff
"KBPS"=dword:ffffffff
"Installed"=dword:00000001

Note that you have to change "/" to "\\" in your paths and the path
to the CD content... (I hope it's clear.)

4/ running Neverhood:
Now you should be able to run Neverhood by
$ wine <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/nhc.exe

If not, try to look at the Troubleshooting section.

=====================================================================

Troubleshooting
---------------

I've experienced various problems with running Neverhood using wine.
Some of them are just annoying, some of them are crucial.
If you find better solution, let me know, please.

1/ "it doesn't run at all" problems:

Problem: message "CD-ROM not found" appears
Status:   solved
Solution: you have set the paths wrong, check the registry entry
          again

Problem: message "Error Initializing DirectSound" appears
Status:   solved
Solution: I got that message when there were another wine-preloader
          hanging nonfunctional. Make sure there's no other
          wine-preloader hanging there. If that doesn't help, check
          wine sound settings and look at sound problems below, too

Problem: message
          "wine: Unhandled privileged instruction at address ..."
          appears on the console followed by wine debugger reports
Status:   solved
Solution: It seems that Neverhood can't run when wine is emulating
          Win2000. Switch wine to emulate Win98

2/ graphics problems:

Problem: keyboard does not work if running in full-screen mode
Status:   workaround
Solution: configure wine to run applications in virtual desktop

Problem: mouse cursor is duplicated (you can see both your
          system cursor and the Neverhood clay cursor)
Status:   workaround
Solution: (by churchyard): after you run nhc.exe, try to run it
          again. A message stating that there's another instance
          already running should appear. Click on "OK".
          The virtual desktop should close; double-clicking back
          to the Neverhood virtual desktop should hide system cursor.

3/ sound problems:

Problem: sound is missing constantly
Status:   solved
Solution: setting emulation mode for sound in wine solved that

Problem: sound is missing in the intro and (probably all?) animated
          cut-scenes (maybe a codec missing?)
Status:   unsolved
Solution:

Nox

Game Homepage
Tested Wine Version: 0.9.9

Before installing the game you must copy comctl32.dll (from a win xp installation) to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32.
Type WINEDLLOVERRIDES="comctl32=n" wine /pathtocdrom/setup.exe to install Nox.
After that download a cracked .exe from www.megagames.com
and copy it to the game directory.
Type wine nox.exe in the installation directory to play the game.
