This article details the story of a KDE-loving software engineer who was forced to use Windows for his job. "His only hope was that he knew Qt was cross compatible with Windows Linux and Mac, and there was talk that someday, KDE was to be ported to Windows. So he waited. Well, KDE4 was announced and there was much joy. Betas were released and there was much bitching. KDE4.0.0 was released and there again was much joy (and still a little bitching). More importantly an actual honest to goodness Windows port is released. Here follows that engineer's report."

Most of the old Loki games work fine here... SMAC, SimCity 3000, and might and magic anyway. If you're having problems try:
(Google-fu)
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Running_Old_Loki_Games
Yes, it's from Gentoo but it works on any distro... Most of the Loki games use a symbolic link to the executable, so it's quite easy to add the instructions on the wiki to a script, remove the symbolic link, and your done.
So if the game doesn't work it's a google search for "old Loki games", 4 lines of text, the ability to delete a file, and the ability to save a file. Failing that you could go play with a pile of rocks. :p
(And before you say: "Ohh that's too much work for Joe User!" this is the same Joe User that'll download a DOS emulator on Windows to play vintage DOS games so the point is moot. You can't handle an emulator if you can't handle Google and a text file.)
