Wow. Someone is using my app to get those games running natively on SteamOS
Nice!
@Kano
If you talk about the videos from Data Disks you collect in game, they work fine too. To be honest, I have not found anything missing in Doom 3 case.

In the past, Linux users were not well-informed about many open source projects that required CD with a game for Windows/Mac. Additionally, most of these open source projects are not/were not included in the software repositories of Ubuntu.
Nowadays, many users have started to use Steam, Desura, GOG, and I think that many projects at GitHub, SourceForge etc. are worthwhile to use them instead Dosbox, Wine, and so forth.
Unfortunately, I noticed that many interesting games are not available on Steam, Desura, GOG, and so on.Last edited by gbudny; 17 March 2015, 08:52 PM.

Tomb Raider I, II and III is added on OpenRaider engine. I have tested it on TB III and wow, that is unplayable alpha. I hope it will get better in the future.

But someone will need to make sure, that those game engines are present in RPM repositories. Cool thing about Ubuntu is that anyone (including me) can have his/her own ppa repository and push there whatever he/she wants. In my case those are game engines (and dependencies which are not present or are old in Ubuntu repositories). All my files from ppa are installed in /opt directory to make sure they will not break anything in the system.

I'm a bit reluctant wrt packaging engines though, imo it would be enough that it would just use system engines if available in repos and only advertise game for installation if so. I might be interested in maintaining such an app
