I hear it's possible to get Close Combat 5 running on Ubuntu/Linux. I saw some key words, like WINE, and VMWARE. I've tried WINE and it said something about missing something in the registry. I haven't tried VmWare. Could anyone tell me how to get CC5 working in linux? I'm new to linux and don't know my way around it at all.

I know that real geeks have made the CD version of the game work but their instructions are indecipherable to us mere mortals.

Presumably you checked out these posts:

I noticed at Wine HQ that the latest version has had its handling of .tga files improved. Presumably that is why it is suddenly working.
