Transgaming's WineX 2.1 - Supports WarCraft 3

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the somethingto-lust-after dept.

friedmud writes "WineX 2.1 is out on the street, get it at transgaming.com. It boasts, among other things, full support for Warcraft III. Other games now included are: Grand Theft Auto 3, Civilization III, and Black and White. Check the press release for further info. And, if you haven't already, go here to get an account... It is definitely worth it." I've been rebooting my laptop to WC3, so maybe I'll give this a shot. I bought a subscription originally in part due to their misleading Sims compatibility claims, but this looks like it finally is truly emulating top windows games.

    Soon, there will be as many games that you can play on Linux as there are games that you can play on Macintosh!

    I hear the MS guys are making a Linux emulator for Win32. It's called Beer 3.2. The reasoning is, Beer is more popular than Wine so it will appeal to a broader user base. Women tend to like Wine better but Men overwhelmingly prefered Beer in product testing. Beer 3.2 is still a beta, and will be released when it's content reaches version 5.0.

      If it's from Microsoft, there is no way it will be free. Accordingly, will the open source movement need to stop using the phrase, "free as in beer"?

      Maybe we can convince Microsoft to name their product "Lunch". That way, everyone will automatically realize that there is no such thing as a "free Lunch".

    "Diablo II, Civ 3, and Unreal Tournament should be enough for anyone"

    Do those games run with 640K?
