No. WineHQ does not distribute any software other than Wine.
or do I need to torrent them,from the pirate bay?
Pirated software is not supported here, and discussion of illegal activity is against forum rules. You have been warned.
Through whatever legal channels of distribution are available for it.
Also,what is it I can DO with wine?
Run Windows software on Linux, MacOSX, or BSD.

ZombeiNinja be thankful I am not a mod here.
http://us-interplay-store.gamesplanet.com/shop/fallout/
This link was on the appdb page. The games buy price is 19.99 USD.

It has not been tested for a while so might or might not still work with current versions of wine.

Also don't get the idea of acquiring illegal copies of software and coming here and pretending to be legal. Sooner or latter we will work it out. Games acquired by illegal means have habits of being no-cd or copy-protection broken or virus infected or other malware infected. So making the game act different to proper retail. We don't want to waste our valuable time tracing down bugs caused by no-cd or copy-protection broken or virus infected or other malware infected.

Please note even legally acquired game applying a no-cd patch when its not required we also don't support. We are not interested in the extra headaches we have enough headaches supporting non modified software.

ZombeiNinja in a lot of ways you are a idiot. There is a old saying sleep with dogs get flees. Acquire items by illegal means be prepared to pay the price. Don't expect others to want to pay that price.

Games that work well will have a platinum rating for a recent wine version number. All ratings with wine are wine version dependant.

Alright,no,see,I saw it was a "emulator" and hence I presumed that it was all into illegal downloading and such.Thanks for the information.I agree, I do pay for legal copies of most of my games, to support the creators.I will purchase my games instead of pirating them.Thanks for letting me know!
