I've used Wine and its derivatives to play games under linux, where
"fully supported" for a game might mean that you can play all through
the game and its expansion (starcraft), you can play provided you
don't mind you mouse looking like it's moving through treacle
(fallout2) or it will get to the loading screen, possibly start the
first level and then crash if you blink (most other games).

I got so shat off that I obtained a tv tuner card and a nintendo
gamecube. I've never looked back, games that "just work" when you
stick a disc in and turn the device on aren't fictional. They're a
reality that non-wine gamers don't even know exists.
