Fallout 1 works really well. Miles better than it does on Dosbox.

Heroes of might and magic 3
runs okay anyways ?
without freeze's

[quicksilver]

@shavecat Im fairly certain I have seen others get heroes 3 up and running. I may test it myself if I have time since heroes 3 is such a good game. I do have the game running through the VCMI engine but the AI controlled opponents are very stupid so the game is not enjoyable

@quicksilver
It does work the gog version with the box86/wine ! :)

Try to update your underlying box86, mesa and wine to the latest box86 0.2.1, mesa (20.3.4) and wine(v-6.1.-devel) installs.

@mth75

Also tried to play Jazz Jackrabit 2 but the logo appear and then quit :(

Lamplight City, a 2018 point and click adventure game, works perfectly.

The game I absolutely want to play on my Pi4 ... Thimbleweed Park .... sound only ... no display output. So this is hopeful.

Well I know this is off topic, but you can play it over LineAge 17.1. Yeah yeah....I know it is not Retropie but it is just a suggestion how to play it on your Pi4 :)

Also try the game "The Cave" by the same creator Ron Gilber and Double Fine Productions.

It has to be RetroPie :-) ... that's the charm!

Unavowed, works nicely.

[mth75]

A Golden Wake, another Point and Click adventure, seems to run excellent.

[mth75]

Broken Sword 3, The Sleeping Dragon, seems to work perfectly.

[retropieuser555]

@mth75 is broken sword 3 worth playing? I played 1 & 2 last year, really enjoyed 1 but didn't think 2 was as good. And I've heard the series has a downward slope in quality?

as as good. And I'

It is, for a 3D game it's not that bad and actually quite beautiful . But 1 and 2 with the old fashioned point and click interface are the best.

Doom 3 BFG

According to Winehq Appdb it should be possible.

it doesn't work for me now, unfortunately :(

[Zering]

Has anybody had any luck with turn of the millenium RPGs like Arx Fatalis, Arcanum?

[mth75]

Runaway 3: a Twist of Fate seems to work.

Arcanum works with the following parameters:

wine Arcanum.exe -no3d -doublebuffer

I would suggest to just try to install the other game.

I got Heroes 3 running with the addition of the -no3d parameter. Fairly stable it seems.
