Neverwinter Nights has a native Linux client, which can be downloaded from

Can someone confirm if it is compatible with gog version? (it may still require a cd-key)

The linux binary definately requires a valid CD-key, even for singleplayer. You have to put it in a text file somewhere for the game to run. So even if it works with GOG version it will be necessary to contact GOG support to get the CD key (but most people will do that anyway, if only for multiplayer).
I tested it with DVD version, but haven't bought the GOG version (yet) so I can't guarantee anything with this version.
If I remember correctly, the Neverwinter Nights Linux version is an installer that reads from the Windows discs.

If that's the case, it won't work with the GOG installer. If it's just the necessary binaries to use together with the game data, it'll surely work.

EDIT: Didn't actually read the link before I replied.

Use the "Installing From An Existing Windows Install" instructions after you've installed the game in Windows and I bet it works.

Icewind Dale works both with Wine and with GemRB. However, after reading up on what doesn't work if you use GemRB, I wouldn't recommend it over Wine.
Good GOGMix idea, this can help Linux users like me who prefer to run Windows games under Linux :-) !

Some GOG games I play under Linux/wine not mentioned in the GOGMix are :
- Stronghold
- Stronghold crusader
- Gobliiins pack
- Syberia II (although sound is not very nice sometimes - yet it's playable)
- Commandos 2 (GOG pack also includes Commandos 3 but it had graphical issues)
- Raptor
- the Incredible Machine
- Flatout
- Earthworm Jim 1&2
Thanks to everybody who have added relevant info to the GOGMix. If there's something I'v missed please tell me.
My 2 cents :

@paldepind or anyone who can edit GOGmix about linux-compatble games :

Disciples 2 Gold (addons included) is fully functionnal via Wine 1.2+

THe addition in WineHQ is in process.
Vampire the Masquerade Redemption runs fine:
- set to Windows XP
- with no Vertex Shader Support and disabled Pixel Shader*
If there is a problem enable virtual desktop.

Planescape Torment:
- set to Windows XP
- virtual desktop mode, with no Vertex Shader Support and disabled Pixel Shader

About modding PST - all mods except Bigg's Widescreen mod and Ghostdog's UI mod works fine for me. I was able to install them (minor issue during installing Ghostdog's UI mod - it gave Weidu version conflict info - workaround copy setup-widescreen.exe from Bigg's mod rename it to Setup-GhostDog's-PST-UI.exe paste it back to PST installation
directory overwriting original and run it**) but wine crash after running the game.
* - I set this up by default
** - this workaround was given by Ghostdog on some forum

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx with Wine 1.2
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee works with Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine

the CGI stutter, but the game itself works flawlessly
Hi, I just wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic idea for a thread; being a Linux user it is extremely helpful..
Just before Elemental came out, I got Master of Magic from GOG. Works like a champ on my Ubuntu netbook under dosbox.

woodyweaver: Just before Elemental came out, I got Master of Magic from GOG. Works like a champ on my Ubuntu netbook under dosbox.
Note that this isn't in any way particular to Master of Magic--any game using DOSBox or ScummVM will have identical compatibility and (mostly) identical performance on Linux or OS X or whatever with that platform's native version of the program. The purpose of this thread is to identify native Windows games that run properly on Linux, not emulated ones.

You can find games that use DOSBox or ScummVM in the following GOGmixes:

http://www.gog.com/en/mix/games_using_dosbox
http://www.gog.com/en/mix/scummvm_compatible_titles

EDIT: also note that there are a few games on GOG that were DOS-based back in the day but have native Windows ports for the GOG release, e.g. Raptor: Call of the Shadows 2010 Edition.

Now, that is something interesting - I was able to run "In cold blood" on my Linux laptop. One year ago while using Windows XP it was quite impossible (and believe me I've tried very hard). No thanks to Wine I suppose - it was rather drivers case (thank the maker for Intel's policy ).

Same thing for another game (it is not available on GOG yet but I believe someday it will be)
"Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines". In Windows I had to use 3danalyze to simply run it in "safe mode" and in Wine it works just after adjusting the right settings (but to be perfectly honest it's still quite choppy - this game has some serious engine issues - that's how Troika made them: uber cool but buggy as hell - good that it has still such strong support from community).

One more thing. We all know that Fallout 2 works in Wine but does anybody follows releases of Killap's "Fallout 2 Restoration Project" (current version 2.1.2b)? I'm unable to run current version (manual installation - bat files applied on master.dat separately). After installation and setting ddraw to native/builtin pop up window shows up and tells me to turn off compatibility mode:-(.

Works flawlessly for me.

If that were the purpose, we'd only be listing source ports and engine reimplementations.
If you take a moment and view the list, you'll notice it contains both DOSBox and ScummVM games, in addition to games that work under Wine - neither of these qualify under "run properly on Linux".
