Is there a way it would run, or will it run fine when I download it? I am getting a new computer soon and I would like to have some of the games on this site on there, but it will have Ubuntu on it. I am too cheap to get Windows on the computer, so I got Ubuntu for it which is free.

:not_ok:

There are DOSBox versions for Linux and the vast mayority of games run fine in DOSBox. Go to the DOSBox site to download on of those.

All games here which are playable through scummVM or DOSbox runs fine for me in Gentoo Linux. Which means that it should work fine with Ubuntu Linux as well.

Both dosbox and scummvm should be in APT so you won't need to compile the source manually just type the following in a terminal:

Code:

$apt install dosbox
$apt install scummvm

or whatever one types in Ubuntu...

change apt to apt-get

apt-get install dosbox

(at least that's how to do it in debian on which ubuntu is based)

Thanks you guys.

Hopefully when I get Linux (which should be within this week) I will do that asap.

Yes use DOSBox or if you want to run windows programs use Wine most games should work as i run Ubuntu my self most of the time.
