The last (official) game in the Space Quest series by Sierra, Space Quest 6: the Spinal Frontier introduces a new engine, new graphics, new plot (duh), and new other things.

The hero of the game, Roger Wilco (that's you, genious), is court martialled for crimes such as abandoning his post, disintegrating a fellow officer and doing an unauthorised sequel. He is demoted to janitor aboard the Deep Ship 86. See Space Quest 5: the Next Mutation for how he got into a position where he could be court martialled in the first place.

It's time for planet-leave on the Deep Ship 86, and the place where that will take place is Polysorbate XL. However things do not go smoothly for Roger, and as soon as he arrives he ends up waist deep in some serious trouble!

The Master Genealogist (TMG) is a popular genealogy software for Windows that was discontinued at the end of 2014 (The announcement.). ­The Master Genealogist is able to be customized for data entry through user-defined event, name, and relationship types.

TMG uses DLL's from Visual Fox Pro (VFP) so many issues associated with VFP affect TMG.

TMG's version history can be found on Wikipedia

There are a couple of Linux alternatives:

• Gramps (Debian package) -  written in Python. Good data-model (Supports GEDCOM 5.5.1), handles large family trees well.
• GeneWeb (Debian package) - Written in OCaml, with CGI interface. Simpler data-mode, but handles 400k-name families without trouble.

A great real-time strategy game, in 3d and using physics, that runs great, even on a netbook.

Total Annihilation was one of the first 3d real-time strategy games.  It has massive maps, compared to Starcraft for example, the units really are 3d, rather than isometric projections, which were common at the time.  There are aircraft, artillery, long-range naval weapons, super weapons, nuclear missiles, anti-nuke, ...

Even today, Total Annihilation stands out, and doesn't look dated graphically.  The music is awesome, played by a real symphony orchestra, and composed especially for the game.

There are two expansions: Core Contingency, and Battle Tactics.

Total Annihilation on Wine runs fluidly, and feels like it is running natively.

It runs just great on a netbook, even one of the old ones with a 800x480 screen, with the music, and without needing a cd player.
