Pinball Dreams (Deluxe)/Fantasies/Illusions (GOG)

Hi hi first post.
Supposedly at least PD is Linux native. Did not check the others. None of the games start up whatsoever. Same issue with all of them? I just want to enjoy some nostalgia. 😄
Tried the "Windows" version too with the same result, but after the button said "launching" for longer.
I have updated my system, and also went through the guide to getting all Wine dependencies in the FAQ.
Pinball Dreams log file for Windows version install: https://0x0.st/8IaQ.log
And since the upload log function seems to overwrite the old upload link, here is a big block of nativ Linux version log. I tried to compress it as best I could:

Running Pinball Dreams Deluxe
Starting DOSBox
/home/ratzsa/Games/Heroic/Pinball Dreams Deluxe/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Done.
Launch command: ['/home/ratzsa/Games/Heroic/Pinball Dreams Deluxe/start.sh']

All processes exited
Solution
Got help elsewhere. Apparently DOSBox really wanted libFLAC.so.8 while the installed version was libFLAC.so.14. Was told to do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libFLAC.so /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.8 and that did in fact get it running. 😄
