Status: offline 		I was wondering if you can play this on Linux/Ubuntu?? I have a laptop that I travel with and was wanting to load it up there to play. I am a newbie at the linux but do know that you could get WINE or soemthing like that to play this too but might run into more problems so just wondering before I load it.

Thanks for the help.

Status: offline 		There's this thread from last year dealing with Wine and TOAW 3 - apparently, they're compatible, as one player states that he's able to run TOAW 3 on an Ubuntu box.

Small glitches in sound made me turn them off - but runs excellent otherwise.

Status: offline 		I finally play TOAW 3 on my Linux box using vmware player, xp, and winscp to copy files from one OS to the other.
Using the last wine version works but TOAW crashes after few minutes.

Any details on that? Have you tried turning off the sound?

My wine version is 0.9.38 on Kubuntu Feisty, TOAW 3 starts normally but scenario's loading time is very long, turning off sounds helps but last crash I had was after have changed Movement Paths from Visible to Floating.

Now I have installed xp (stopping all unnecessary service) on VirtualBox, TOAW 3 runs smoothler than on vmware and the mouse is more responsive.
