That's what the SRPMs are good aren't hey?
Shouldn't be much trouble to recompile them fo x86_64.
Or run the apps / games in virtualized environment. (Not something I'd do with latest games, but for sokoban from 1986 shouldn't run into performance problems :) )Am I right?
If there was a SRPM available it probably would have already been done :)
One is Neverwinter Nights which they released a 32bit linux binary for, but obviously not FOSS.
The other is The Dark Mod, which is open source but they're still using the DOOM 3 graphics engine IIRC and their buildsystem which is still 32bit only.
Thanks,
