Well in my patient await for Wine 1.0 to be released I have dug out some of my old games. For those of you who might ask why I am doing a write up of this game I took a look at the AppDB and notice other users were having difficulty with this game when it really is just simple as 1, 2, 3. So without further adieu here is the howto.

One more thing, I am not going to include any commands except what are in the pictures. This install is just too simple.

Wine Weekly News: Issue 347 PDF Print E-mail

This is the 347 issue of the Wine Weekly News publication. Its main goal is to summarize a lot of the big issues since the beggining of the Wine code freeze and continue to look forward towards the big 1.0! It also serves to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. You can find more info at www.winehq.org

"Stunt racing game, developed by independent German studio Moon Byte. Crashday puts you in the world of stunts, dents and adrenaline: whether you prefer to smash your vehicle into pieces with breath-taking stunts or better still prefer to race against your enemies in on custom highspeed race tracks -- maybe you also just want to show your fellow man what a serious head-on collision can be like... The integrated track editor of Crashday builds the basis for all driving areas in the game. You build maps independent of any physical limits and it's up to you to decide whether you put jumps, loops, tunnels or houses onto the track.Source

AirRivals on Linux with Wine PDF Print E-mail

About AirRivals:

AirRivals is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) with the characteristics of both Third-person shooters and flight simulators, developed by MasangSoft and owned by Yedang.

In AirRivals, players pilot their own individual starfighters (called "Gears") throughout a number of maps, including terrestrial, lunar, and space maps. It has typical MMORPG elements such as leveling, currency, and a skills system. Ace Online is a largely Player vs. Player (PvP)-oriented game, with character leveling and item acquisition achieved through combat against Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and the completion of missions. As a player gains levels, more and more maps become accessible. Although a high level character will have better character attributes than most other players, no one at any level is invincible against other players in PvP. As in other MMORPGs, players can trade items, customize their gears, form parties ("formations") and guilds ("brigades"), and fight with other players via PvP combat. Almost all of the combat in AirRivals is aerial, from the third-person view. Players have the option to use the in-cockpit, first-person view by pressing on the "Delete" key once.
