Humm, in the Dos/Windows world there are some cool apps
wich I would like to play from time to time (once or twice a year)

I am speaking about games of course  :-)

Did anybody saw Wing Commander 3 ?

Apart from this I don't think Linux need anything else.

I found a lot of apps to play with several consecutive livetimes.

Harder to use ? Maybe. But much more powerfull, for sure.
