The amd64 version seemed to compile and install just fine, i haven't noticed any crashing issues.  Thanks BigMc for all your hard work, it is much appreciated! 

i'm not sure why i can't restore games saved under windows, although making new saves under Linux seems to work fine.  Also would be nice to have a Linux equivalent of winsetup.exe to easily spit out acsetup.cfg files.

Anyway i just discovered Adventure - All In The Game and it looks intriguing so i'm off to play that on Linux

i'm upgrading to Xubuntu 12.10 x64 today so i'm hoping that ags will now run on it, i'm going to test it out once the install is finished.

@kati:
It is definitely possible to be successful.
Maybe you try it a second time.

well at the end it seemed like i had to give konk the mumba meat to get past him, leaving me with just the rat and going back to the cave empty-handed.  not sure if that is the joke of the game is that he caught the mumba but failed to bring home the meat, but it seemed like there should have been a way to win the game

i was able to get the libdumb package on x64, when i got to this step then it errored out:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

saying --add-architecture isn't an option

i'm curious to try this out on x64 (running xubuntu precise 12.04)

Spoiler

is there a way to win the game or do you always end up back where you started with the dead rat thing?  i loved the game but the ending was sad how he didn't get to bring home any mumba

i'm not too worried about the pledgequest given that they took the initiative to release a Linux version, but i'd like to be able to play AGDI's KQI and the Space Quest Incinerations on Linux ... will see if i can get either of them working tomorrow

it seems fairly trival to port AGS games to Linux ... i really wish more people were releasing Linux versions of their games.

Was trying to run the windows version of Pledge Quest since it seems like a simple game to test with...

[~/patches.dat]

i followed all the instructions but it crashes trying to load audio:

ags game.exe
Adventure Creator v3.21 Interpreter

i'm guessing it has something to do with the GUS patch not working?  i did download and copy it to ~/patches.dat

i'm running ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit)

FWIW SQ VSB linux port works great on here...it would be nice to be able to play other AGS titles without running XP on VirtualBox...
