Hi, The game isn't on ports and is available for windows only (it's a Microsoft game, figure)
Vmware shouldn't run the game, plus I don't have a cdkey for it. I've tried wine and it kinda sucks on FreeBSD, I couldn't even get mIRC to run, let alone a game. My only chance seems to be winex but I don't know where to get it for free (or if it can be downloaded freely for bsd at all), and I'm not sure if it compiles OK on 5.2.1; I've heard people had some success with some patches. > On Fri, Oct 08, 2004 at 09:20:37PM -0000, Hugo Silva wrote: >> I really need to get Age of Empires II - The Conquerors Expansion >> working >> on my (only workstation) FreeBSD box. >> >> I don't have windows anymore and I'll not switch back to be able to >> play, >> but I'd like to know if it is possible at all to run the game on BSD. >> Perhaps winex ?
