You missed Silent Hunter 3. Works almost (small graphical glitches) perfect on version 0.9.42. Latest wine version hit hard on FPS. Dont' know why.
Star Fleet Command Orion Pirates installs and runs under latest Ubuntu + Wine. Some long pauses sometimes but rarely during action, keeps me happy.
Thank you for submitting your post to Carnival Of Tips.
