After abstaining from commercial games for a couple of years I found three Windows games under the Christmas tree this time. I was a bit nervous as I no longer have a working Windows partition.
I only tried one game (Esacape From Monkey Island) so far and it was a shattering success. I did have to read some Wine docs and fiddle around with settings for half an hour, but after that the game runs flawlessly in its OpenGL mode.
I'm skipping further details[1] as this mail's main purpose is to *thank* you all for the great piece of work that Wine is!
Merry Christmas, or whatever makes your holiday,
