Operating Systems

Microsoft Windows

Mac OS X

Don't bother trying to play vidya on Macs.

GNU/Linux

A list of games that work natively on GNU/Linux can be found on the Linux Games Database (free and non-free software inside) and on the Steam list, however neither are guaranteed to work on your machine.

Windows games can be run with some success using WINE, check to see its rating here.

Many games on Steam will also work on Linux.
