So after attempting some common fixes to get cinematics in Thief 1 & 2 working, both games now crash immediately upon the start of a cinematic, ugh. I thought of checking Wine's application database to see if they ran well since I already had Ubuntu installed, and they were both Platinum (the best rating).

So about 3-10 minutes after pulling up Wine's download page, I had everything installed and set to Windows 98 (Thief 1 & 2 are old :P). I popped my disc in, ran the autoplay executable via right-click->Run with Wine, installed, patched, ran the game, everything worked great :D. I didn't even remember to set the game to run on 1 CPU, and the movies and the game itself all worked just fine and without lag, though it is old so it doesn't take a beefy PC to run it well.
