Really loved that game back then, got me into reading Poe a bit. Insta buy if the port is good and the price fair.
One of the strangest point 'n' click adventures of the '90s, [The Dark Eye], is getting a modern 'restoration' for Steam, making it easily playable for the first time this century

I used to think ancient games were hard to play, trying to build a retro box, failing, trying to run a Win 98 VM, failing, trying to install patches on Win 10, failing, etc. Then I tried installing them on Linux with Lutris, and everything worked.

This was my exact experience too, with Bottles.
For instance “Sims 1 is SO DIFFICULT to get running on modern Windows! (Complicated hacky guide)”
…I set up a bottle specifically for 95/98 era games and it just worked like no problem and installed as if I brought it home from Best Buy in 2001.
Sometimes a minor setting tweak or something helped, but otherwise it’s CRAZY what stubborn games will run well on Linux now!
And this is using Nvidia, too. Truly awesome times.
