Overlord System Specifications

Minimum:
- Windows XP
- DirectX 9.0c
- CPU: Pentium 2.4 GHz or Athlon XP 2400+
- 512 mb RAM
- Graphics Card: GeForce FX5900 / Radeon 9500 or above
- DirectX 9 Compatible Sound Card
- 1.2 Gb Hard Drive Space

These are the min requirements for Overlord the game for pc. With the presence of Direct X requirement, does that mean it is unable to run on Ubuntu even though Wine AppB rates it bronze ??

Yes, but wine does support directx. This particular game just doesn't work, it has been rated bronze because it installs. A ton of other games do work, including:

- oblivion

- prey

- star wars: jedi knigt 2: jedi outcast

- morrowind

- call of duty 4

- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

- command and conquer 3: tiberium wars

- the witcher

- star wars knights of the old republic 1 and 2

- halo

- star trek legacy

- the entire GTA series

- far cry

- counterstrike: source

and uncountable 100s or 1000s more, both opengl and directx. Just look at the description (not only the rating color!) an app has in the appdb to know if it works or not :)
