My uncle provided me games for AppleIIC when I was younger in grade 
school. Most recently I was given the MSI i5-6600K motherboard from his 
son's old computer. I have wished to play more games on the linux 
desktop yes. I have Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 games of sorts also 
which I did purchase used but only with case and manual included.

CDogs-SDL may be worth a look if you are interested. An advanced 
openSUSE user fixed the package and it does indeed work now quite well.
