Funny thing is that CMO has been discontinued by Matrix Games, as has the Harpoon bundle.
If you are interested in Harpoon, here is a great article from a couple of years ago discussing its history.

I was going by the listing on the website:

CShell, that sounds like my game shelf! And you sound like an old fart like me.Back in the day I also had: Tracon II (box), Harpoon I (box), Harpoon 2 (box), Diablo I (box), Diablo 2 (box), Janes Apache Longbow (box), and a lot of Micropros games (simulation) -- Falcon 3.0 (box) [F16 sim]. Just reading the "manuals" for the sim games took entire days and you learned a lot -- Good times.
Yup, Tracon II, the Harpoons, Longbow, and I had both Falcons (3 and 4). In fact, Falcon 4 BMS is still being updated I just found out. I also had EF2000 and Tornado...Combat flight sims used to be my jam. Unfortunately flightsims are the absolute worst at running on linux or FreeBSD.Yeah, but you can tell from my blog, I have multiple homelab projects going on and fighting to get a bronze game working is pretty far down the list. I just upgraded my entire network to 15.0R, dropped plex like a bad habit and replaced with jellyfin, now I am dumping roku and standing TVPCs. Occasionally when I need to take a study break from the projects, I might fire up Harpoon Classic or Tracon in dosbox, but even a couple of hours of Cold Waters is a rare treat...
Have you tried using GeForce Now? I know it works for other games.
Have not tested wine since upgrading to 15. I don't game as much as many others...
I tried steam-utils. The version of wine-proton available is 9.0-4, but Steam uses 9.0-3. When I selected that it told me "Bubblewrap isn't available..." had to chose LSU something or other and that didn't work either. The Native FreeBSD WINE didn't work either. I installed wine-proton (9.0-4) and copied the .i386-wine install from a 14.3 jail I had that had it working on 15.0, but it didn't work for me.
The version is 9.0-3, although that's not really important.
Not relevant here.
Who's had working what?
How do I install these games in FreeBSD? I saw online that I can install Steam with Linuxulator but that didn't work for me. How do I install Wine?

This scared me off 16.0-CURRENT; the new WoW64 mode seemingly works on Linux, but I kept getting pkg32 errors FreeBSD (figured the i386 repos didn't ever exist 16.0, but update notes imply the new WoW64 mode was known for a while)
The default is rl9 since a while, make sure your system is updated, and follow latest.
/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh --old upgrade pkg install compat14x-amd64Portal 2 run with linuxulator, with one of the compat option.
Battle net launcher is usually unstable (newer Staging on Linux seems fine but older, non-Staging, and anything FreeBSD would have crash dialog spam immediately before log-in and not allow log-in), but some games including WoW have in-game log-in flows; you can skip the log-in on Bnet client, use Bnet client to patch the game, then start the game and log-in from main menu.
I can vouch for that
