lovely thanks, i'll have a play with that in a minute.

that said i've not actually come across anything that isn't already packaged for wheezy - i usually have to build backintime, gip, gstm, knockd and john for fedora.

Not very up to date, but I've taken to buying old DOS games and running them in DOSBox. They may be old, but still very playable and many to choose from: Warcraft, C & C, Quake, Tomb Raider, Theme Park, Sim City 2000, etc.

Oldies but goldies.
