Stars! for Linux
Is there any similar game to Stars! from Windows. It is a strategy turn based game where you build spaceships, control research and fly to planets and use their resourcces. Sure you are not alone as other races are also trying to reach some goles.

I know this thread is ancient, but I've been waiting for a long to to be able to answer this, since I love old dos games, especially stars!. It now works under wine (20040917), you should also get winesetuptk. Run winesetutk, and under window mode set it to desktop with 1024x768 and you should be in good shape. Sorry it took two years, I just got it working today.
taeuler, thanks for letting us know!
Have you also checked out Dosbox? I had a number of Dos games working with it at one time...

The oldest version that I got working was 20040917, and it also works under 20041019, so I would try a newer version. It looks like they have builds for debian at the wine site. Also do you have winesetuptk installed? If you don't it is a useful tool to configure wine.
