As has been stated in the many number of areas the post has been chronicled, Its a deaf ear on which these cries are being heard (or in this case not heard). Disciples is pretty much already supported easily by wine, and if you wanna play it run out to your local bargain software shoppe, you might find a used copy for 3 dollars there for your taking. Same thing could probably be said of Bandits.

Does it really make sense to carry on the Disciples 2 port in 2010 ?

I have no idea whether or not it makes sense, but I'm still hoping they will. I thought the game looked interesting when it was first announced, and I haven't seen or heard anything that would make me change my mind since then.

Is there anyone else here running Linux on Apple hardware? If then what is your experience when it comes to running games?

I have problems with my mouse and keyboard. When I press the keyboard I can’t move the cursor. This makes games like Shadowgrounds hard to play. (You have to stand still to aim a gun).

@torturedutopian LGP didn’t port Shadowgrounds or Survivor, Igios did, LGP only “publish” it, they have actually ported bugger all games.

LGP probebly have payed money to do the Linux port. So I dont think they want to scrap it totaly. But like you say it is an old game. I have heard something that the code base for Disciples 2 is hard to port/understand.

Does it really make sense to carry on the Disciples 2 port in 2010 ? This game has been working perfectly for ages under wine, and you can get it + its expansions at $5.99 on GoG..

However, I did appreciate the latest LGP Games (shadowgrounds) that were quite recent and very enjoyable.
