Arasan runs on Linux now. It was orignally for Windows only. I ported
it a few months ago and got it working reliably quite recently.

Note, though, that this is an amateur program. I can put the effort into
a Linux port without worrying about whether I'll get paid for it or not
(I have a day job, too ..).

There are a few commercial games ported to Linux but it's apparently
not been very profitable
(see http://slashdot.org/articles/00/08/13/1623202.shtml for a
discussion of this).
