As you wrote yourself, that game is for Windows only. You're not running Windows.

Artificial Intelligence is not writing howto's for running games made for Windows in Ubuntu.

That said, you can try running it in wine - http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/wine:winestuff

Wine application database shows that the last test for running that game in wine yielded garbage results - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=6189

The gwos website isn't working. It shows "under construction".. Has it moved?

It looks kind of fishy to me.

gaming.gwos.org is redirecting to http://bss.sfsu.edu/ashastri/under_construction2.jpg and every link after gaming.gwos.org is being redireced to http://bss.sfsu.edu/ashastri/under_construction2.jpg such as http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/wine:winestuff is redirecting to http://bss.sfsu.edu/ashastri/under_construction2.jpg/doku.php/wine:winestuff

Very fishy.

Also, gaming.gwos.org resolves to 63.208.196.110 which is in New Hampshire, whereas bss.sfsu.edu resolves to 130.212.20.217 which is in California.

Again, I find this to be very fishy.

"under construction" ????

We're changing/replacing servers atm.
