It seems the initial benefit of this package to engineers is figuring out how to make it work. You have the carrot of free games in there, go get em! After reading some of the other documents there, this would probably be a better description of what this package is about: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers/blob/mas... I also found these ones helpful in understanding what is going on here: basicWalkt…
My sentiments exactly! It is a tribute to the wine developers that these 20 year old games run as well (or better) on linux and modern hardware than on the ancient PC's and MS-Windows versions they were designed for. One recommendation - with each game try wine-6 first (./wine_default.sh), if anything is not quite right use wine-7 (./wine_experimental.sh). That should be sufficient to run all games; use the oldest wine version that works. If there's still a problem go to winehq.org and try wine-8 (winehq-stable). (You can also run most of the included game exe's on Windows 10, emulating the appropriate old Windows version. If using Windows, the linux install script serves as handy documentation for the install, showing which patches to apply, what directories to copy, what settings to change, etc.)
