Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition [External Link]

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...

As usual, your work rocks!

Yep, www.gog.com/connect and 4 more Steam games get added to my GOG account. Coolio!

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!

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.

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).

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.

Thanks, 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 [External Link]
Freedom Force vs the Third Reich [External Link]
Mafia [External Link]
Mafia II Director's Cut [External Link]
MDK [External Link]

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

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 [External Link]
