# Wine doesn't need to be installed because it will automatically download the required version
# Usage: Put this script in an empty folder and run it. Running it once will install the game, after that running it will run the game.

Hey, if anyone's interested, I made versions of this for Might and Magic 2 and 3 as well. I think I also did World of Xeen, I can't remember. I also can't remember if 3 is part of World of Xeen or if that's 4 and 5. Either way it wouldn't be hard to add World of Xeen because I modified the script to be generic instead of game-specific. I'd upload them now, but they're on a different computer. I'll probably do it regardless of interest (after all, the work is already done), but if you show interest, I'll go out of my way to share it with you, as opposed to just doing it at my own leisurely pace.

I recently lost the other versions of this script in a huge loss of data. Whoops.
