looks like it's natively supported on Linux, and apparently runs even better running the Windows version under Proton: https://www.protondb.com/app/467290

Yup, and it's available on both Steam and GOG, usually pretty cheap. It's not running the original code underneath - some amazingly dedicated soul spent over a year porting its custom engine into ScummVM, and that's what the versions on sale now use.

And that dedicated soul (dreammaster) would really like to know who wrote the final star map puzzle, because there was sooo much matrix math his head almost exploded :)
