Here are my tips on how to do it (I used Ubuntu):
1. Install the game on Windows to extract the files from .exe
2. Copy all the files from the installed folder to your Linux machine
2. Install `dosbox` via `apt`
3. Make some changes in the `dosboxPrehistorik2_single.conf` file.
Or create your own file `dosboxPrehistorik2_single_modified.conf`. The changes I made:
```
[ipx]
# ipx: Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation.
ipx=false
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
@echo off
mount C "~/Games/Prehistorik_2/data" -t cdrom
c:
cls
TITUS.BAT
exit
```
4. Change to the Prehistorik2 folder and run dosbox in the terminal with the following paramenters:
If you want to run the game in the window mode:
```
dosbox -conf dosboxPrehistorik2_single_modified
```
If you want to run fullscreen:
```
dosbox -conf dosboxPrehistorik2_single_modified.conf -conf dosboxPrehistorik2.conf
```
Some additional parameters (I have no idea what this .dll does, but this is the default GOG command for Windows):
```
dosbox -conf dosboxPrehistorik2_single_modified.conf -conf dosboxPrehistorik2.conf -noconsole -c exit-/home/user/Games/Prehistorik_2/goggame-1430913246.dll
```
