Well Sierra's games such as Half-life, Gunman Chronicles, Opposing force, Blue shift, and Counter-strike are really messy :cry: . They tilt whenever they wish, and there are a lot of problems with them. Also Soldier of Fortune tilts in a specific part of the game. :(

...there was fun."

You know whats pitiful? Dos games work better with Dosemu on Linux than on Windows XP. You can add Jazz Jackrabbit to the list, since MoSlo doesn't work on XP without buying it, and who wants to buy MoSlo?
- One in a small breed of Linux using Dos gamers. Dosemu forever! :D

Transport Tycoon Deluxe can be persuaded to work under XP if Transport Tycoon Deluxe Patch is installed. Download from here:

anyways, GTA2 Does NOT work. I have it. Says it is incompatible with the OS.
GTA 2 works perfect with XP Home.
