There are also a fair number of programs for running a lot of the old DOS based games. There is one that will run most of the old Serria games, such as Space Quest. But I have to admit, the low-res graphics are hard to adjust to. (They were written in 640 by 480 with 16 colors or 320 by 240 by 256 colors.) Your best bet is to do a bit of digging on Freshmeat to find a program that does what you want. The see if someone has packaged it in RPM format. If not, the you can try building it yourself...
