A lot of the games you listed would have the same issue on Windows. Additionally it likes like pc-98 can work on Linux.

I don’t see why CD games wouldn’t work on Linux. You can connect a disk drive just like you can in windows. And can then make an iso of the cd for convenience.

One game you listed, Pangaya shutdown.

I’m not saying everything works on Linux, but at this point the large majority does.

Others have pointed out other titles that are pretty popular that don’t work on Linux. So if that game is important to you, I don’t blame you for not using Linux. I use windows for work for the same reason.

But just be fair.
