God damnit, we've been having issues getting fallout 3 to run stable in wine for a few days now. If this works well I wish I had found this before fiddling with it on my own...

How reliable are these Wine-wrapped games? I've never bought a Wine-wrapped game before, so I don't know what's involved, or how compatible they are, or how much setup I have to do.

I would consider buying some of the older ones that have no chance of coming to Linux (but I won't buy anything that may have a native port coming).

Any info is appreciated.

These games are NOT Wine wrapped by default. These are scripts that contains certain Wineprefixes for certain games.

So ; if you buy them you would end up buying a Windows game , not a Wine wrapped game by default.

Bought a bunch of games there... with the partner link of course!

Quoting: GuestHow reliable are these Wine-wrapped games? I've never bought a Wine-wrapped game before, so I don't know what's involved, or how compatible they are, or how much setup I have to do.

I try to make them as easy to use & as much like playing a native game as possible. As long as you have the dependencies installed it's simply a case of putting the files in one place & running the build script to assemble the wrapper, then once that's done the resulting wrapper can be treated much like a native game - simply move it to wherever you want it & run the start script to play.

Quoting: GuestI would consider buying some of the older ones that have no chance of coming to Linux (but I won't buy anything that may have a native port coming).

None of them are likely to come to Linux officially; I don't buy any games for Wine until they're old/discounted enough that an official Linux release is unlikely, and I strongly recommend that others do the same - save the high/full price purchases for Linux titles in order to encourage more official Linux releases.

Quoting: GuestThanks, I'll keep that in mind. Perhaps I'll get a cheap one, and if it works out I'll consider more.

Feel free to ask if you need help with any of them :)

Really quick question does the saboteur work with a controller from your script, 3rd person shooters are not that much fun on mouse and keyboard for me.

I've never tried before, but I quickly checked with an X360 controller just now and the game didn't recognise it. It might be possible to get it working with some tweaking but it's not something I have any experience with as I almost exclusively use kb+m.

Personally, I am diametrically opposed to your game play preference. For me, I use a gamepad or joystick for driving games, platformers, or fighters. But I'd never ever want to touch such controls for a 3D shooter like DOOM, Xonotic, Painkiller, Serious Sam or a 3D RPG like Witcher 2, Deus Ex, Shadow of Mordor, Mad Max, etc.

Thanks a bunch, Adamhm :) I hadn't played F.E.-- er, Fear in ages. And now I can play with Kb+M, previously only played the console version. I also never got to try the sequel, so my week's been filled out :B

(For anyone interested, I've had success with the Mmod for Fear, for those wanting to crank up the experience :))

Some more games I've made wrappers for that have been added to the sale:

Freedom Force
Freedom Force vs the Third Reich
Mafia
Mafia II Director's Cut
MDK
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition

Considering Wine, Mafia is on good sale now. For the GOG version you also need to get the missing soundtrack though.

Well horses for courses personally mad max is a driving game with action combat so controller anything 3rd person controller so Tomb raider etc basically anything that was built for a console I play on a controller. When it comes to fps games always mouse and keyboard same with flight games, rts games etc

I'm gonna buy Yooka Laylee
