wine "C:\Plasma Pong\Plasma Pong.exe"[quote]
That example works fine...as long as it's done in a terminal.
However, the game seems to not like being ran without a terminal. (I can't just click on the .exe file to run it).
I'm wondering if there's a way to make a clickable icon that can start the terminal, then start the game, then close the terminal once I'm done with the game.
Also, I'm using Debian 64 bit Sid.[/quote]

Probably not, because Nautilus assumes that the application will use a
GUI window.
You don't say which desktop you're using, but the Gnome launcher build
dialogue has a menu box labelled 'Type' that lets you select "Run
application in terminal". I assume the launchers used by KDE, XFCE, etc.
will have a similar capability, so try creating a launcher for Plasma
Pong and using it to run the game.
