Okay, I've been meaning to try this for several weeks now and I finally took time for it.

I've just been rumaging around and came up with all the King's Quest games and a copy of Myst for Windows 3.1 and 95.  I'll have to see if they'll work -- something to do until I can get a life.

A Linux version of future FS releases would be teh bliss! But highly unlikely. :P

If you want to do this in a more technicaly way then try to run fs on linux using wine.

I went with vmware because I thought it stood a better chance of working and because I've had more experience with it but trying wine wouldn't be a bad way to go.  Might just do that.

But WINE is payware, isn't it?
