Hi there,
this is not really a question but more a remark. I just bought Theme Hospital for my wife today and was very happy to find out that it simply runs under DosBox. So migrating from my Windows PC to my main Linux PC worked like a charm.
Doom 2 which I bought yesterday also was packaged with DosBox.
Why aren't those games listed as "Linux" as well ? Even without using something like Corsix for Theme Hospital or GZDoom for Doom all those gems play fine under Linux by using DOSBox.
I think it would be nice if GOG sells them also packaged for Linux using some special compiled version of DOSBox with static linked libraries.
This would also make things easier for those who are not that technically skilled.
Regards,
D$
