Linux Raider?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.tombraider (More info?)

I would like to replay the original Tomb Raider CD.
However: Since my TR1 CD broke a couple of months ago,
and I had to upgrade my Windows operating system to XP,
I do not want to buy a new CD without knowing
whether it will work on my machine.

So my question is:
Is there maybe a way to run TR1 under Linux (Debian)?
Maybe with "dosbox"?
What about the other TR games?

Many thanks in advance,
Thomas

BTW: No, I don't want to buy Glidos...

You could try using Wine, it probably won't work though

Not that I know of. It may well work with wine, or Cedega, or
CrossOver. There's a reasonable chance that it won't, though, since
TR1 is a DOS program. It can be got to work in XP, though:
