Either via Proton and Steam (adding a game manually to it) or via Lutris. Which games? Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, Sim City 2000, Sim City 3000, StarCraft, Diablo, Unreal, Unreal Tournament 99, Freelancer, Schleichfahrt, Grand Theft Auto 2, The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth, Dune 2000, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Warhammer: Dark Omen, No One Lives Forever 2, Need for Speed Underground, Half-Life, the Quake games, the C&C games, etc.
Never had any problems. Some games require special emulators. Like ScummVM or just DOSBox. But that is also required on modern Windows as well, so it's not like Linux is adding any complexity here.
what exactly are the issues on Windows with any of these?
I did play No One Lives Forever 2 like a year ago on Windows and had no isses (besides realising that the game is overrated crap... what a shame)... so what issues are there on windows that aren't happening on Linux? I'm confused.
meanwhile, I just recently had to try 7 different versions of Proton/Wine to get Berserk Boy running with its FMV sequences not being blacked out. and that's a modern game.
or for Punpkin Jack (another modern game) I had the same issue with black FMVs. there I had to switch into windows vista prefix (or was it Win7?) and use a specific Proton version to get it to work. which was another half hour of trial an error, and 10 minutes of googling solutions.
