Ah. Sad state of things.
Thanks for the links.

I found Yakuza 3 for PC. I'm not sure it'll run.

Now that we are at Japanese games. Came across Nobunaga's Ambition Awakening (Nobunaga no Yabō: Shinsei). NA seems to be a long series of games by Koei. I don't know any previous ones, this is the freshest. I know however the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, played one of the early ones and XI. I appreciate them, they are enjoyable games I think.
NAA is the same as those, just Japan instead of China. Bunch of same mechanics, some different ones, real time instead of turn based. I'm bothered a bit that portraits are the same style, but I'm more bothered by the bad English translation (which was done in 2023 summer or something) which makes the game harder to get. The controls are not intuitive, finding the commands inside all those menus and windows that can be opened. I don't know (yet) how to control battles for example. I found that at sieges I can pick if storm the walls or blockade the castle.
I found it while looking for games set in feudal Japan. And Total War Shogun 2 just doesn't want to run. There is some components in there which fails on Wine no matter what, unfixable. So I gave a try to NA. There is Sengoku too, but it's not good.
I'm not sure what to think about the game yet. It scratches the itch for the type of game I was looking for, so for that it's good enough.
