211 free Wine-compatible Games in one download

By , Published July 28, 2010

How does the thought of 211 completely free wine-compatible games available in one download, complete with slick launcher and per-game info, sound to you?

Indulgent? Maybe. Worth downloading? Hell yes.

Mega Games Pack

zDoom DownloadThe bundle is the work of 'Novo Custom LiveCD Builder' creator Glenn and has been fully tested to work on both Ubuntu 32bit and Ubuntu 64bit meaning no-one need miss out on prime time wasting opportunities.

As all of the games within the pack are either Open-Source or freeware there is nothing to pay and no need to hide under your desk for fear of the FBI storming your bedroom under cries of 'Pirate!!'.

Download

For a full list of games included see here. The list is incredibly diverse, including everything from Wolfenstein 3D and Z Doom (an enhanced port of the original Doom) to Pong, Poker, Lemmings and even Amstrad CPC classic 'Oh! Mummy!'

Download is 1.82GB and can be downloaded via torrent or direct download @ http://www.cyvoc.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36

    I had no luck with this DVD, I have downloaded, burned and inserted in my DVD rom but… it does not work (it says I need permisions to execute the .exe files) I try to change permisions thru properties and it does not allow me to change the permisions, any help?

      First, set execute bit in executable properties. This cannot be done once files are on DVD (content is read-only). No need to burn it to DVD anyway.

    this is what I get: “The file ‘/media/FreeMGP-Vol1-Lin/Installer/GamesInstaller.exe’ is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.”

      Open a terminal, browse to /media/FreeMGP-Vol1-Lin/Installer and run the command “wine Gameinstaller.exe” (without quotes). That should fire it up. :) Sudo is not required.

        Thanks! it works now :)

        • firevas

          Good to know that. You’re welcome. :)

    • firevas

      OR, login as root and change the permissions of the file (make yourself its owner). That should also help.

      nvm, misread.

  • Aldo Nogueira

    Why include games which have native client already? Removing these ones could reduce download size.

  • Neriman

    Great stuff! This will definitely boost the popularity of Ubuntu, Linux, and open source in general. I would like to see a non-game pack also.

    I need to unzip each game separately and run it through wine independent of the installer GUI. A great download, but not as convenient as I’d hope.

    OMG!

    I remember having this program with some of these games a few years back
    or I think this is the same one looks close to what I remember.

    Fun times tonight

    how do you uninstall games?

    Anyone else having errors when trying to open the 7z files with file-roller?

    NVM. It’s not necessary. The full installer runs under wine. Prince of Persia hasn’t changed a bit :)

    I may never raise a family.
