I have several older commercial loki games for linux that I cannot get installed in gutsy. Specifically I'd like to start with:

Heroes of might and magic 3
sim city 3000

and not loki but has a loki installer that doesn't work with gutsy:
Creatures docking station

These are all great games that I can no longer get working in linux. Can anyone help me with installation so they work?

I just got Simcity 3000 working a while ago and did a blog entry (http://www.travisbirt.com/2007/10/05/woo-got-simcity-3000-working/) on it with links to the pages that helped me. They also have other games listed. Should help you as well! Good luck!

Knights and merchants are a fun game. The Linux Game Publishing ported the game over, but I haven't tried playing it natively.

Too addicted to Darwinia & Adanaxis atm ;)

darwinia was fun... but short.

after a while the game gets old... fast.

Tuxgames.com is definitely a reliable site, I'd say you're good to go.
