Windows? No fscking way. Backwards compatibility is Windows strength. Linux? Sometimes. Trying to run DXX-Rebirth in a modern Linux is an exercise in frustra

  DXX-Rebirth is under active development[0], it shouldn't have backwards compatibility issues on Linux. Are you trying some older version? Personally a few years ago i tried some older game demos from early 2000s from publishers like LinuxGamePublishing and TuxGames and they pretty much all worked fine after some tinkering (usually removing bundled libraries like SDL so that the binary will use the system provided libs that are more up to date and/or installing OSS support for audio). A few required some missing libraries but those were available either on the repository (Debian) or from older distros (i grabbed some RPMs and extracted the .so files manually). Two games i couldn't get run because they relied on Gtk1 though - it shouldn't be impossible to run, but lost interest (Slackware contains Gtk1 so i could have copied it from there).
