Hello Everyone,
I've recently been experiencing issues with some old computer games (DOS and Windows) and trying to get them to work. I've been trying to get the following game to work for a bit now:

I've mainly got all my old school DOS games working via the DosBox emulator. And now trying to get some old school Windows games working via Wine. I did some Google-ing and found that it looks like Gex should work:

Obviously, I don't have the CD, and am just downloading the file. Everytime I try to download it, and run it, I get the following error message:
If anyone could offer any assistance, or help me get this working (or confirm that the game does NOT work in Wine), I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Asif

Re: Windows Game - Gex Enter The Gecko
The download page you linked to identifies the file as a "rip" and notes that some content such as music, videos, or voices may be removed. So it looks to me like that may not be a legal download to begin with. But legal or not, it is apparently known to be missing files.

I have the game running perfectly in wine although mine is the full cd, i suggest you get the full game and dont ever bother with rips in the future
