I write this post to let you know that Evochron Legacy works flawlessly under Linux with recent versions of wine (wine-staging 2.16 and later).
For those who don't known Evochron Legacy, it is a great space sim game. Here is the description from the web site:
"Evochron Legacy is a freeform space flight simulation that focuses on 'lone-wolf' survival gameplay and pilot controlled spacecraft management. The environment setting is a vast seamless style universe where you can perform many activities including buying, trading, spying, racing, escorting, delivering, emergency responding, mining, exploring, weapon/equipment crafting, cleaning solar panels, clearing paths through asteroid fields, recruiting, protecting, hiring crew members, fuel harvesting, building stations/cities, and designing/selling ships.
Evochron Legacy is a technical flight simulation, not a story or character based game, so you are not limited by plot requirements or pre-selected character roles. You can change the course of gameplay and your role in the game's universe at just about any point. Your decisions and actions define your role in the game and establish your reputation, wealth, progress, and ranking. The emphasis is on real-time tactical gameplay strategy and flight simulation for both combat and non-combat objectives. You are in control of your ship virtually all of the time in open space, including player controlled combat and planetary descents."
The last how-to and info can been found on the dedicated wine appdb page:

There is even a demo ([http://www.starwraith.com/evochronlegacy/downloads.htm](http://www.starwraith.com/evochronlegacy/downloads.htm)) for those who wish to take a look (complete version of the game, with time limitations).
