This game runs with WineX/Cedega
As Wikipedia says it runs in Win 3.x, you could try to get DosBox to run Win 3.x, then try it there, but that sounds like a lot of pain.

Merged thread Castle of the Winds with two posts.
Just so the method to my madness is clear:
If a thread is created that requests a game port for a PC game, and no obvious way to achieve that exists (e.g. it's a proprietary PC game), it will be merged here.
In the case where a port is requested and an existing open source version is referenced, or some other distinguishing and noteworthy information, it will probably live on as an independent invitation to would-be maintainers.
So: if you want your request to carry some weight and not be just a "me, too" among many, you can increase your chances greatly with some basic research online.
In this case the OP did do some homework; it just turned out unfortunately that what seemed to be an indication of a linux port was in fact only wine-supported simulation.
I'm going to edit the first post of this thread to include this note.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

GTA - II
Civilization 1
Colonization
classic games =)

- it works under EasyDebian in Lxde
- the gamefield is larger than the screen, but the player is always visible
- the Escape key is mapped to ctrl
- also, the problems with the return key are fixed

Simtower is a simple little game where you build a hotel. It's really addictive and I think it'd be great on the N900.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to port it to the N900, and how well you think it would run?

Did anyone try to launch Elastomania/X-moto on N900?

Aliens versus Predator !!!
seeing as it is due for release on 360 and PS3 very soon, this could not be better timed...

according to the above link, an unofficial Linux port was done in 2001, after the developers releasing the games source code
