First out of the gate this month, we’ll be talking about a gaming site, GOG.COM. This was one of the first places I went to look for games when I switched over to Linux on a more-or-less permanent basis a few years back.

**GOG has a pretty good selection of games that have been ported to Linux. In most cases, it looks like they’re using DOSBox (see Everyday Ubuntu in FCM#137 for more on DOSBox), or possibly WiNE, which is a method for running Windows applications on Linux (although they insist that Wine is Not an Emulator, hence the name). | **GOG has a pretty good selection of games that have been ported to Linux.

Let’s search for an adventure game to try. Click the magnifying glass ‘search’ icon in the upper right, and type in ‘steel sky’. The search will bring up a well-regarded adventure game called ‘Beneath a Steel Sky’. Click the ‘Free’ button, and the website directs you to the page specific to this game. Read the reviews at the bottom if you are so inclined. Click Add to Cart, then Check Out Now. GOG will make you set up an account, but that’s a small price to pay for free games, isn’t it? Follow the prompts to create a new account. You can use your Facebook account for login if desired.** | Let’s search for an adventure game to try.

The game installer is an .sh file, which means it’s a shell script. While you’re still here, download the manuals and any other files you like, like the wallpapers.

**A little housekeeping on last month’s column, I mistakenly inferred that the Sega Genesis outsold the Super Nintendo, but I happened to watch a Sega documentary just yesterday that indicated it did not. To my surprise, the SNES beat the Genesis in sales by about 10%. That was, however, a great improvement from the Sega Master System’s performance in comparison to the original Nintendo Entertainment System, which outsold the SMS by about 11 to 1. | **A little housekeeping on last month’s column, I mistakenly inferred that the Sega Genesis outsold the Super Nintendo, but I happened to watch a Sega documentary just yesterday that indicated it did not.
