Games?

I've always enjoyed adventure. The first time I played it was on an IBM mainframe (IBM 370/168 -- or was it the 370/165, the company had two mainframes running OS/MVT at the time) in 1976, written in Fortran IV. The BSD version was written in C. I think it was ported from the Fortran version.
 
Woah, no'one mentioned the massive amount of make files available in /usr/ports/games I didn't know all these titles were ported to FreeBSD.

Some of my favorites which work on FreeBSD. 2 Shooters, 1 RPG/Strategy:

Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Half-Life + Opposing Force
Baldur's Gate 1 / 2

RTCW is probably most similar to COD (1 and 2 at least).
However even Medal of Honor and most games of that era work very nicely in Wine. In some cases, even better than on Windows because we have useful hacks in Mesa to cater for old assumptions about OpenGL extensions.

I just retested installing and playing Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga (obtained from GOG) through emulators/wine. No special steps needed, just
Code: 
wine Z:\path/to/setup_baldurs_gate_2.0.0.20.exe
and it should launch the installer. At the start of this year I played through the Enhanced Edition, it also worked without any problems.
What are your actual steps to install and start BG1 with wine and what error messages do you get?
