Playing Windows games in Mandriva

Now let's see some of the fun things that you can do with Mandriva. Go the your Software Center and download a program called Wine. Wine is basically a Windows emulator. It allows you to run some Windows applications and games in linux. I like simulation games and I installed Wine and am using it to play a free baseball simulation game available on the net called Out of the Park Baseball 8. Download the Windows version of any game and right click on it's installer and select open with Wine. If Wine supports your game or application you will be able to run as if it was running on Windows. To see some of the games and applications supported by Wine check out this page.
