RE: [K12OSN] Windows Educational Games

["Chris Bacigalupo" <baci harborcityschool org>]

Just an FYI I've been using freeciv (http://freeciv.org) now for two
years in Soc Studies as a great simulation. Kids love playing and I've
got a crew right now developing reflection and content for a CivEdu
website. Both Linux and windows ports

Win4lin, which allows you to run Windows95/95/ME on top of Linux might 
work.  I use it to allow my wife to run a Windows app she needs for her 
business.  Netraverse, which makes Win4Lin, says games are more likely 
to have problems, I think because of ActiveX issues, but OTOH, I've not 
had any problems with simpler, less graphically complex games.  I've got

one or two Jumpstart games as home that I'll try this weekend and let 
you know how they do.
