If you like Bard's Tale, port this to the Amiga, so I can continue doing art for it!

As for running Linux in a vitrual environment, I wouldn't even know where to start with that, much less compiling code.

You can download a trial version of Parallels here:

Once you have installed it, you just stick a Linux CD in your PC, fire up Parallels, use the wizard to configure the virtual machine (which is very, very easy) then install as normal. It's really easy, and certainly quicker than porting the software.

Wow! Thanks, Moto! Can I use that with any Linux Distro or do I have to use a specific one?

Most distros work, but I prefer Ubuntu. After installing the OS you can install Parallels Tools inside Linux, which enable additional features like automatic mouse capture/release, and seems to improve performance. It's easier to get this working if you have a nice easy-to-use distro.

I wonder if this would let me run OSX. My lappy's a hackintosh, but I've had issues with a dual boot.

I don't think you can run it in Parallels, but you can in VMWare, which is much the same thing. If you search for "mac os x vmware" on a popular site for finding files, you'll get it
 

Thanks again, Moto!
