Exceed20XX: No worry. Don't forget Hexen II under the source port section if you have it as well. Now if only those and Heretic II could show up here for completion's sake...
If EVER...

Before I knew about GOG I bought them on Steam, but I don't we're alone in that we would buy it again if they came here.
Project Nimbus appears to work on Windows 10 without altering. It's a game built in UDK so you'll want to access it via that .exe in the Win32 or Win64 folders. I'll probably mock up a nice new personalized icon for this later.
Hey, just letting everyone know that I'm not dead. :P I'll be updating the wiki this week.

pedrovay2003: I noticed that there were quite a few games that were reported that work in Linux, but there are no official Linux versions; the Windows versions just download files that happen to run in Linux if certain dependencies are installed. For now, I skipped adding these games to the list, because I wanted to get an idea of how we wanted to put them in there. Should we put them into the main list with a note explaining what needs to be done, or should we create a new section just for these titles? Or, do we want to go even further and create a completely new wiki page specifically for these types of games? (I personally think that last one is a bit much, but the option is there.) Let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

muntdefems: I guess you're referring to the games I reported in post#797. If so, they don't work as you say: it's not that you download "the Windows version" and that build "happens to run in Linux if certain dependencies are installed". Rather, they have distinct download depots (as can be seen in the StemDB links included in the reports) so you can download the preferred version: Windows, macOS, or Linux. I downloaded all those games with SteamCMD without issue, but as far as I know one should be able to download the native Linux builds with the Steam client as well.

Sometimes it's because their devs used to support Linux and eventually they dropped the official support but the working version still remains (such as in Leaving Lyndow, or The Next Penelope), and sometimes it's because they've never officially supported Linux but they nevertheless uploaded a working Linux build in its own depot.

In such cases, I think it'd be enough to mention it the "Remark" field, but grouping them all in their own separate table would work for me as well.
Sorry, I don't think I was clear in my post before. I was indeed talking about the games you listed, but I was wondering if we should treat them differently since they're not offered through the actual Steam client on Linux, despite Linux versions existing; for example, Dark Scavenger has a Linux version, but it's only listed for Windows and Mac on the store page.

I don't have any experience with SteamCMD, but I know that it's an official program from Valve, so I think it should definitely count. If you could give me an example of how to download one of those games using SteamCMD, I'll definitely put the games in the wiki, and I'll put the SteamCMD instructions in the Remark field, as suggested.

Quite easy actually, link to SteamCMD should be enough : )

Correct. Only a small addendum to what mike_cesara said:

- Using the download_depot command will download the games in the "linux[32,64]/<app_id>/<depot_id>/" subdirectory of your steamCMD home dir.

- You can alternatively use the force_install_dir <dir> and app_update <app_id> commands. With the first one you specify what directory the game will be downloaded to, and the second one starts downloading the game.

- By doing it as described above, steamCMD will download the depot corresponding to the OS you're running it from. To choose a different OS (e.g. to download non-Linux games on a Linux computer), you need to set the @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType variable like this: @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType <OS> (where <OS> can only be windows, macos, or linux).



@pedrovay2003: Understood. I thought you were aware of all this because the wiki already listed several games as available (and DRM-free) for Linux even though they aren't officially supported for Linux on the store. For instance, some games made with AdventureGameStudio like The Cat Lady, or Downfall).
As I said, I don't really mind whether these cases are included among the rest of the games, or separated in their own table. After some thought, I think maybe the latter would be better, but please do as you see fit. :)

To keep your downloads nice and tidy, yes. However, you can still download Windows games under Linux without changing @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType variable. I just did it with Cobi Treasure Deluxe and
Numba Deluxe. Games were ownloaded to SteamCMD/linux32/steamapps/content//<app_id>/<depot_id>/
Btw, both games works under Wine without Steam.

Ooops, you're right. I wrote the path from memory and forgot about the (···)/steamapps/content/(···) bit.

About how to download the games, I guess it's a matter of preference (or how one learns to do it the first time, in my case).

And you're absolutely right too! ; )
Only pointed out, that games will be still downloaded even if you forget changing OS variable.
Why has this not been stickied yet?

To go a little more in depth about this, I think it's fair to point out that 'your' method works in some particular cases where 'mine' doesn't.

I'm referring to what we were discussing with pedrovay2003, i.e. games that aren't listed as supporting Linux (or macOS, for that matter) in the store, but they nonetheless have a Linux depot. Sometimes the app_update command works fine with those games, but sometimes it doesn't, and steamCMD gives me an error message about how I don't have a license for that platform, or something along those lines. In those cases, a few times the download_depot does indeed work, but not always. I don't know what could make the difference, there's something that's escaping me about the way the Steam depot and license systems work, no doubt.

So yeah, if you're new to steamCMD, you're probably better off downloading your games like mike_cesara said, as you'll have a higher success rate. When you're eventually fed up about guessing which game corresponds to which game_id, then you'll come to the enlightened path of app_update. :P

Ha! That explains why I experienced issues with app_update.. Thanks for the tip muntdefems!
OutDrive
Downloaded with SteamCMD and tested in Wine under Linux, works without Steam out of the box.
Can someone confirm if Demigod really is DRM-free on steam?

Their forums say you need to register with Stardock to play. And that might include offline singleplayer.

Thanks in advance!
In all the NEO-GEO games here on GOG or Humble Bundle, don't know about the Steam versions, also include a "rom" and "bios" file. For emulators or Retropie :-D

neogeo.zip = bios
gamename.zip = game rom

You can find them in the installation folder.
Okay, we're all updated again, including all of the SteamCMD Linux games. :D
