I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a quad core i3 processor. I have downloaded Prince of Persia and installed it.

When I click princeofpersia.exe the game opens, but the screen becomes parted and the screen appears broken and the game does not run.

Windows Binaries(.exe, .msi) cannot be executed under Ubuntu(Linux). For that, you need Wine to be installed under Ubuntu. Wine is a compatibility layer, that adds a Windows shell in your Ubuntu. Meaning: it enables you to run Windows binaries. For the security risks Wine brings, please see: Do Wine Viruses only work while Wine is running?.

On how to install Prince Of Persia, we will use PlayOnLinux...

PlayOnLinux:

PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for the Wine software compatibility layer which allows Linux users to install Windows-based video games, as well as many other applications such as Apple iTunes, Safari, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Internet Explorer.

PlayOnLinux supports all of the Prince Of Persia games.

Install:

wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_trusty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

Search and do what the wizard says:

League of Legends under Ubuntu - EuroBytes Image from: League of Legends under Ubuntu - EuroBytes.
