wine YOu can get wine there.  WineX you have to pay for, and that is the one you need to run games that require directX as I understand it.

Microsoft is the question.
"No" is the answer!
The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.

Before we get to Wine or WineX, what game is it? What are the specs for your laptop? The reason I ask is that Wine and WineX sometimes require faster computers to play todays games. For example a 1ghz computer with 256mb ram can play battlefield 1942 on windows just fine, but on linux, with a somewhat inefficeint emulation layer, it might take a 2ghz with 512mb ram to play the game at decent speed.

Ok who deleted my other post from this thread. It was definately not a troll post. This is silly. Why would anyone delete a non-troll post?

It might have been by accident when the moderator was trying to sweep off all the goatse.cx garbage off the forums.
