Heh... I'm doing that right now... I'm mostly through an X-COM campaign.
I probably have 6-8 DOS-era games at my fingertips for playing under
DOSbox, plus more are easy to find if I go out looking for them.
I suspect, though, that tonym is asking about the latest and greatest
games and how to run them under WINE or some other gaming environment
that someone mentioned in passing a week or two ago. I don't play that
many modern games, so I haven't really dug into what it takes to make
a Linux gaming platform.

Now, Jim, before I go digging, wasn't it you
that mentioned some extra
proggies for running games?
Was that to use std win games under *nix?
I don't recall doing so, but DOSBox is mandatory to run DOS-era games
with an 90% success rate.
