Unreal Tournament 2004 Linux
This works great when installed via Codeweavers Crossover. No hoops to jump through, and it's in the supported games list. I used the 2006 ECE version from GOG. FYI: PlayOnLinux was a dismal failure with this and a few other titles, where Crossover worked like a charm.
Pretty sure GOG has tried but Epic Games has denied them.
Lately Epic does everything possible to make their older UT games not popular, trying to push their shitty "free" UT4 on everyone.
I'm now using Linux Mint 17.3 and run Unreal Tournament via Wine. It ran a bit too fast, but a patch brought the speed to normal and even tacked on DirectX9 (D3D9) support. Here goes the patch: www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ They even threw in patches for a few other Unreal Engine games, like Deus Ex and Rune.
With the exception of Unreal Tournament 3 ( I think it was ported, too, but never released), all Unreal Tournament games were ported to Linux. So please add them to GOG.

It's possible to get the GOG version working on Linux, but you have to jump through a few annoying hoops. The Linux guide for the steam version can be followed with minor differences: pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Unreal_Tournament_2004#Installation
That said, definitely seconded! UT2004 is one of the best Linux games there are and it's a pain to see it sold with only Windows support when it supported Linux day 1 back in 2004.
