I dunno. While Wine in linux has progressed to the point where I can use some legacy 'doze programs in it, anything made to run on win 2k or above simply refuses to run, no matter what level of compatibility I set it to. I still have yet to find a way to get the old Wing Commander, Privateer, Descent, and Mechwarrior games to run.

Haven't tried Quake or Duke Nukem yet -and I really don't know if I still have that old copy of Nude Tomb Raider saved somewhere...

I run Civ 4 under WINE, and Civ 5 natively, using Steam.

There was an old freeware game called Cyberdogs or close. It was a maze with characters you could arm all kinds of ways. Fun game, ran off a floppy.

There is a native client for Linux. I used to play that a lot back in the day.
