Oh man, there goes my time. I remember FlatOut 1 fondly from when I was a kid and was still using Windows (great soundtrack too, I remember sending No Connection an e-mail and they even replied). Now I couldn't resist buying FlatOut 2, even if just to show my support.

I read on the forums they're wine wrappers though (officially supported, but still). Native ports would be the best, of course.




Wine wrappers are fine, for such "old" software the performance should be plenty sufficient anyway, and as long as there's no bugs in the implementation, why not.


The DOS games I've seen are DOSBox wrappers.

I wonder if they've made the games work (if they didn't already) by hacking DOSBox, rather than the game.


FlatOut is a Windows game. As for DOSBox, if a game works on it in Windows it will work on it in Linux as well.
