Is it possible to make this game also available for Linux? You know, the shockwave player is not available for this OS. Yes, you can try it via Wine but with questionable results.

That's close to impossible.
I don't have any development tool able to run on Linux.
Let's forget about Shockwave.
I need 3DS Max, Flash, Photoshop, SoundForge ...
Besides, the Linux users represent a very small percent of the computer owners.
Linux is good for servers, not for "entertainment".

1.There is always Linux alternatives for windows apps.
2.Unlike Windows, Linux is very flexible. It can be almost anything. So entertainment is no problem for Linux

I just want to try Linux more than I've already done before. Because I'm tired of fixing my Windows. The more Windows functions I use the more unreliability I can see. And Linux should be more reliable. But I dont want to quit playing this game... Never mind, I will let Windows on my HDD just for playing games.

If there's a will, there is a way. But I admit, it's not worth investing your money and time in making Linux version of this game. Linux professionals could do that with your help, haha.
