Games on GOG.com that work on Linux?

Post by Rich-Allen1976 » 27 Nov 2023, 16:47

I wouldn't mind playing any and all of the following again, but I don't have a Windows PC: Soldier of Fortune, Wing Commander 3, 4 and Prophecy, Theme Park and Hospital, Hysteria Hospital and Discworld 2.

Is there a LEGAL way to play them on Linux? None of 'em are on Steam, and nearly everything on Steam's Windows exclusive anyway.

I am aware of Google and have used it.

You can run all of those on linux thorough WINE. Learn how to run something you have through WINE before buying cause it takes a bit of effort to get it running.

WINE is too technical for even my Brother to get to work, I'll just contend with the handful of games I've got on Steam that actually work.

But thanks.
