Austin and I updated the pages
http://kegel.com/wine/good-games.html
http://kegel.com/wine/bad-games.html
As before, they list the games from the
last ten or so years with the highest gamerankings.com
scores, along with their appdb scores.
The games with platinum or gold are considered 'good',
and the games with any lower appdb ratings are considered 'bad'.
Clicking on a column title now sorts the table by
that column.
We also added 1999 to the list, and added
a bunch of games that were previously missing.
According to this count, the top 570 or so games since 1999,
Wine handles 227 well, and 237 poorly.
http://kegel.com/wine/missing-games.html
is the list of games we haven't been able to put into
one of the above two pages yet. Mostly this is because
they're expansion packs, and my script can't handle
that yet, but some of them *simply don't have appdb entries* (gasp).

These games ordinarily work quite well or flawlessly, but use
PunkBuster anti-cheat software for most multiplayer servers, which
will never work in Wine legitimately, so it might not be entirely
correct to say Wine handles them poorly when there is nothing it can
do about the situation when the makers of the software intend it to
only be binary compatible with genuine Windows.
Otherwise, that's interesting data.
