Masters of Orion II

Running Masters of Orion II with Wine

Just want to point out this great game which is available free of charge this days.

You can download Master Of Orion II from gamesnostalgia.com.

And it runs unter GNU/Linux thanks to Wine:

7z x masteroforion2_dos_win.7z
cd MasterOfOrion2/mastori2
winetricks ddr=gdi
wine SETSOUND.EXE
wine ORION95.EXE

Enjoy!

Update:

Wine 1.8.7 under Debian Stretch displayed a blank screen when starting the game. Using winetricks ddr=gdi as shown above seems to resolve that issue.
