I just opened Bottles and clicked to run the executable. Not quite, I manually set the launch options to disable video and set 1024x768.

But aside from that, clicked run executable and I’m in and playing:

EDIT: without disabling the videos, they play but you can’t skip them and then the game crashes afterwards. But from what I heard that also occurs on windows? It was a windows user saying it needs to launch with no video.

For posterity, the launch options for LEGO racers under wine: -novideo -horzres 1024 -vertres 768

Old games are significantly easier to run.

I look up old games I want to play and see just complaints about how hard it is to run it, links to defunct forums where someone has once posted a modded .exe to improve stability in post-NT systems, etc.

Often when I run those using wine the game just starts up.

It does not.

Currently supports Stardew Valley.

Next in their roadmap is Cyberpunk 2077, Mount & Blade 2, and Baldurs Gate 3.
