Quoting: GuestCan anyone confirm they are all English only ?

At least some Putt-Putt games feature German and Dutch sound.

Quoting: GuestI guess they use ScummVM ?

I wouldn't think so - is it even allowed on Steam?

Valve have confirmed Linux support for their Valve Index VR headset, pre-orders on May 1st

Quoting: slaapliedjeExactly. I've seen a lot of people list Platinum, then go on to say 'add command parameters here' or 'Get this patch from github' etc. That should instantly lower it to Gold.

I totally missread your post and thought I had to correct this. :-D

Quoting: slaapliedjeI think some people misunderstand the ProtonDB (and hence WineHQ) ratings. Platinum means you can install it and have no issues, and not have to do ANY work around.

"Platinum:Runs perfectly out of the box
Gold:Runs perfectly after tweaks"

Great looking comedy point & click adventure 'Guard Duty' releasing May 2nd

Quoting: GuestWadjet Eye never really supported Linux, their ports were unplayable.

I played Gemini Rue, Shiva, Blackwell Legacy, Convergence and Unbound on Linux and cannot remember a single problem. What did I do wrong?

Quoting: thewhoI like such games very much. Last one i've played was Thimbleweed Park and Fester Mudd. Any other suggestions beside the "original old" ones?

Ahhh...!

Do play Gemini Rue if it doesn't need to be the funny side!

Play everything from Wadjet Eye games, actually (who most unfortunately gave up on Linux support lately):

What are your criteria? Pixel graphics, verb clicking, text input, ...?

I recently played the demo of Port Valley, which I liked much and which is longer than an hour:

The Snail Trek series is also nice, it's Sierra style with mouse clicking and free text input:

If you don't need accelerated graphics inside the VM, VirtualBox should provide what you need as open source, and it's easy to use.
