[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 730712, member: 24098"] I could be wrong, but [URL="http://www.transgaming.com/products/cider/"]looking at their website[/URL], Cider really doesn't seem to be a standalone product that an individual could buy to run their favorite games. It looks like they only sell it as a development tool. Like I said earlier, WINE can be pretty hit or miss. Cider is only successful because the developer usually tweaks their code specifically to run on it. What I would recommend is that you give DarWINE a shot - it's free, essentially uses the same underlying technologies, and it's easy to install. Try your favorite Windows games with it and see if they run - if they do, even partially, it may be worth your while to take a serious look at CrossOver. CrossOver is a pay-for product, but you get full support and constant updates to help with compatibility issues. [/QUOTE]
