A bit of searching the web and some instructions on a forum seem to have worked for me. Part of the installation script for Shadow of the Horned Rat does peculiar checking for the Windows version and is fooled by neither the Windows XP compatibility mode nor the Wine Windows version selection. Installation of Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat isn't easy, even on a Windows XP computer. Unfortunately, I've tried Dark Omen and that also seems to have graphical issues. Changes to Xvnc and/or Wine mean that the colour palette is horribly broken in 2015. The added complexity of it being a 256 colour game also provided its share of issues. Being such an old game could make playing it difficult anyway, but here are the instructions for getting it running on Linux.Ĭhecking Wine's AppDB didn't show any results for Shadow of the Horned Rat, so I was on my own. It was released in 1995, making it nearly 13 years old as this is written, but recent nostalgia made me want to try to play it. Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat is Games Workshop's oldest Warhammer computer game and was the first RTS game that they published.
