Everyone in the computer industry knows that running Windows games on Linux is next to impossible. However, Ms. Ong/Mrs. Khoo
1, who was an expert in the Linux operating system, asked me to download a software called
Cedega. After testing through his/her notebook, we found that Warcraft III runs flawlessly on the system without any hiccups. He/She then proceed to install it on my machine; a workstation is able to handle the needs of the emulator
2.
It was a surprise that we're able to install
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos & Warcraft III Expansion: Frozen Throne. Although the sound is a little distorted, I'm sure that we can figure it out. The thing with emulator is that they are not perfect as they need a lot of tweaking. Tried
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and we encounter some error during the initial installation. However with Ms. Ong/Mrs. Khoo's expertise, we're able to get the game up within 45 minutes. Although the game's audio is a little distorted but the game plays fine without any problem.
Kudos to Ms. Ong/Mrs. Khoo!
1 Ms. Ong/Mrs. Khoo is great colleague to work with. The reason he was called so is because he used to have long hair and with his smooth skin, often mistaken as a member of the opposite sex.
2 The emulator Cedega is still a long way from being a real flagship program for Linux but it's heading towards the right direction.
