Richard, I think you're just going to have to get into VMWare or do some
research on the more sophisticated Linux games. I see posts about gaming on
SATLUG, GWLUG and ALG every so often but I honestly don't pay any attention
to them because I've no interest in gaming. As best I recall, there's no
good way to run any of the more popular Windows-centric games in Linux.
Using VMWare would enable you to run Windows and Linux on the same machine.
I know less about that than I do gaming but I'm willing to bet there are some
good forums and/or tutorials online.
