Hmmm ... never heard of it ... and I take back what I said about wine ... wine kinda blows goats right now ... even if you get something running on it, the program's stability is shit.

I can live without it. I could always make a small 10g windows partition to play it on. I havent gotten around to it, and I dont feel like scrapping everything so I can do it or go through a bunch of hoops. I got my linux installation working the way I want it too. I dont even want to update the kernel. I fucked my install up the last time I did it.

Wine is not really that hard to deal with anymore. It has a GUI control panel so you don't have to edit wine.conf.
But don't expect miracles from it. It's hard to reverse engineer undocumented API's.
I've gotten it to run some games, but not my favorites.
I tried to get Starsiege working on Linux. I actually got it running but the mouse control was backwards.

Sounds like a user problem to me.
Just a reminder to everyone that Linux is not the system you install because you want to play games. You can play games on a Windows computer. You install Linux because you want to learn about computers, and/or have an intoxicating amount of control, and/or run a particular open source program, and/or support the OSS/FSF/GNU thing, and/or whatever other reasons you can come up with. Please remember that you must make sacrifices to not use the most popular operating system. If you're not willing to make those sacrifices, you're not ready to install Linux.
