For older games I always recommend checking out MagiPack repacks, all their games are tested to work on Windows 7 and 10 but, thanks to the series of patches they pre-apply, they happen to be a plug&play experience on Linux too (and I don't need to go through the hassle of checking particular fixes a game needs to run on modern hardware).
Useful for abandonware games like the first two Sims games
Seamlessly on Linux? I am in! Thanks!
For me it was downloading Quarantine that i originally had in 1994 on 3DO. Not the game so much, just that i totally forgot copy protection was done via physical codes back then.
here's how it looked, for example the game would give you a Weight and MPH value and you'd have to supply the 3 digit number that corresponds

"This a scan of the "Red Card", a copy protection scheme for Quarantine. This was black text on a deep red background that was hard to copy by black and white copiers of the era. Color copiers, which cost about a dollar a page had to be used. "
The copy protection for Quarantine was particularly interesting because it was thematic. Given the weight of a pedestrian and the speed of your car, how far will the body fly?
about 3 fiddy. actually i have no idea don't tell anybody though thanks
The LinuxRulez repacks sometimes include Windows games that work almost natively on Linux with some WINE magic.
There was a DODI GTA4 repack that included a shit ton of mods. That was a really neat one.
Crazy, I'm 99% sure he just put out a GTA5 repack that is supposed to be an insane overhaul.
I guess it's not really the kind of notable that you're looking for, but ages ago a friend of mine downloaded a copy of Counter Strike: Source, which played the Death song To Forgive Is to Suffer in the main menu. It became literally the only death metal song he ever liked, evidently due to a tenuous connection with Counter Strike.
That does sound quite memorable
I'm not sure why but that made me wonder about other repacks like that and I wonder if someone has ever bundled the Star Wars mod for Call of Duty 4 together with the base game.
Did know about Gnarly's. I'm gonna check that out.
