Also, go to transgaming.com they put out an emulator called cedega and their main business is to get Windows games working under Linux. Many games work just fine now. They do charge $30 for a 6 month membership. But you can download cedega a & run your games and it's not like shareware, you can keep the version you get, no just get any updates later on. I've been an emerald member a few years now, and a good thing about Cedega & Crossover Office as well, is that they share their successes back into the main WINE tree, so a lot of the reason WINE works so well now is that these guys are giving back too & all contribute to make the project better over time.
