Applications Affected by Bug #1410

This classic horror shoot 'em up from Rebellion works very well in Wine

The mouse virtualisation bug (6971) is still outstanding, but only affects the game in windowed mode. A workaround has been added in wine-1.1.3, enabling very near perfect gameplay [see the version 1.0 HOWTO] in wine-1.1.4 (where a regression bug was fixed). Only relatively minor sound glitches remain.

The open source implementation of the game, which used to be a viable alternative to wine, is no longer maintained, and relies on some rather old tools and libraries.

Game created with the free Adventure Game Studio, similar to those 1990's adventures.

Lead some Jedi (or Sith) in a battle between these two orders of the dominant religion in a galaxy far, far away.

Like its predecessor, The Sith Lords takes place thousands of years before any of the Star Wars movies and is focused on some of the formative struggles between the Jedi and their power-hungry counterparts, the Sith. In the first game, you eventually discovered your Jedi powers, as well as your mysterious past. This time, you play as a different character that begins the adventure as a Jedi--but your knowledge of the character's past, the character's Force powers, and even the character's lightsaber are all missing. A journey of self-discovery awaits, and as you pick up the pieces of your character's past and discover the reasons for his or her exile from the Jedi order, your path will lead you to the few Jedi who survived the catastrophic events that took place at the conclusion of the original game.
