My condolences to the developers who had to spend all their money and effort, on bringing their games to this platform which was slated to die after four years just like most Google products. Really really sucks for them honestly.

This is some serious value for money.

I only reached the boss in Devil Daggers, never beat it, yet here we are, Sorath manages to rob 100 Norwegian crowns directly out of my bank account. Bravo!

Happily doing what I can for this fundraiser, I still use a virtual machine to use Sony Vegas but keep checking in on Kdenlive now and then to see if it can replace that, something I really hope it will eventually.

A good, transparent response at least. Kudos for that!

Quoting: FrawoCan't you have this by creating a bottle for every game?

Oh absolutely, nothing's stopping someone from doing this! I just found it a bit more straightforward with Lutris. So technically there's no correct choice between the two softwares in this regard, but there's a lot more options to get lost in within Bottles.

Dang that UI looks slick! Bottles team know what they're doing.

Quoting: GuestShould I use it for games instead of lutris?

I personally use Lutris because that's what I've been using before Bottles was a thing, and I like setting up my Wine prefixes from scratch and adjust all the dials and knobs manually. On the other hand, Bottles makes managing your, well, bottles easier. It also looks more all-encompassing, focusing on simplifying the installation and running of both games and applications.

There's also Lutris Wine and Bottles Wine; I think the Bottles devs call it Caffe? I don't know what patches they have in it, but might be worth looking into and deciding if that's the Wine you want to use.

So at the end of the day I suppose it boils down to which of the two UIs you like more. I tried Bottles and went right back to Lutris because it works better for me visually, and for how I manage my prefixes.

Edit: I might be wrong here, but I'm guesing Bottles also tries to make general-purpose Wine prefixes instead of separate prefixes for every application, by having a "Gaming" and "Software" prefix, plus whatever else prefixes you might wanna make. Also there's a Flatpak, if you're into that. Which is definitely a great concept that will be useful to many people, I'll add! But it's also another reason I use Lutris, I like having a prefix for every game I play, and I definitely don't want Flatpak or Snap on my system.

Grabbed this on GOG few months ago (am using RVGL as well), so lovely to experience this childhood classic again <3 Just as fun as I remember it. Folks, grab it, if anything just for the music alone :P

Very interesting, thanks for reporting on this. Looking forward to inevitable comparison shots in more games.

Yikes :S Don't know if it's only the Steam version that suffered this fate, but still glad I trusted my gut and downloaded all the GOG installers for my copies of the BioShock games onto my network storage.
