Gaming on Yellow Dog

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

You won't be able to run windows based games in this or any other WINE. 
  The problem is that WINE works somewhat like MOL does.  It uses the 
processor directly and does not emulate anything.  There is a port of 
WINE to darwin in progress which includes a WIN32 runtime library, but 
the programs still have to be recompiled to run on the ppc processor.
