Emperor of the Fading Suns
 
This is probably my favorite game of all time and its pretty much cult status.

Does there exist a linux port of this? I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case since i've seen other games like Panzer General have a fan made version.

If not is there any way to get this game working on the n800 with wine or anything? Thats what I use on my linux box.

If a project doesn't exist to "recreate" this game like what was done with Star Control 2 or Panzer General someone should get the idea to do that. Its probably one of the best games ever made. It is abandonware so its freely available and its not a very intensive game, its Windows based unfortunately otherwise i would just dosbox it.
