    Download the Debian Package (*.dpkg) file onto a flash drive on another computer. Then, put the flash drive into the computer that doesn't have an internet connection. From here, you should be able to run the Debian Package by double clicking on it.

    Yes, but not all games work with Wine yet. You can check Wine's list of compatible programs to see if your game is listed.

    Make sure your computer is up to date. Go to Update Manager, click "Refresh", "Select all", then "Install". Restart your computer and try again. If it does not work, then you can install some programs from terminal commands.
