The developer desired to create a Linux version of this game but did not have access to the source code. When pressed for further details they say that the source code is lost. Subsequently, there is an officially supported wine based Linux port available on Steam.
Further reports suggest that a stolen version of the source code may be in the possession of an illegal hacker. Sections of this stolen code are available on the web but because of current US copyright law the stolen code cannot be used by anyone, including current ligitimate developers of the game.
