If it still is not available through the Ubuntu repositories or Software Center, see the Ubuntu site below for information on how to add it and then install.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype

The GTA Vice City is a windows .exe so you would need to install and run it in 'wine' on which it apparently works per their site at the link below.

Sorry, but based on your past posting history, you don't seem to be following advice you've been given. You've been told to provide details when asking a question...so only saying "i unable to download skype" tells us nothing.

And I find it VERY hard to believe you can't download Skype, given that there is a link on their web page for it, and it's also in the Ubuntu repositories. Putting "skype ubuntu" into Google pulls up how-to's for 16.04. Doesn't seem like you've done/tried ANYTHING to get this to work.

Also, putting "gta vice city ubuntu" into Google again yields lots...since Steam runs on Linux, and GTA is available on Steam...what do you THINK you should do to get it???? And as you've been told several times...there are NOT JUST SIRS on this site.

Find that hard to believe, since the question was answered..did you not read the replies? And you re-opened a thread that had been closed for three years to post this.
