Playing Spelunky on my Macbook. No, really.

It's pretty killer for running older / less demanding games. Lots of older games work better in Wine than they do in modern Windows, if at all. Also, for some indie games with half-assed Mac ports I've found it's often better to just run the Windows version in Wine.

I suppose it works with productive Windows apps too...

Yes! I love playing Spelunky SD with my friend. I run it through Wine on Arch Linux and he's on Windows. It works flawlessly!

Hah, another Spelunky-er! That was the title that got me to first explore Wine.
