Using Wine 0.9.41 I have finally managed to get Republic: The Revolution running on my Linux distribution, Fedora Core 6. Unfortunately this game was not really that popular due the use of a brain being required. Bit of shame as it is a great idea, beautifully presented and has a great soundtrack. I have not really played it that much as Windows is not my primary operating system. It was only there to keep the missus happy with Sims 2
Everything seems to work ok but it is really slow though. Maybe another couple of more updates to WINE and hopefully will be smooth. I think this is a DirectX 8 game so there may be hope.
