It's still possible to install python 2.7 on most distros, however, I'm not saying that you should just for this game.
One of these days I may run it through py2to3 and fix all of the things that are broken. The code is nearly 18 years old, and hasn't been touched in 15 perhaps, and doesn't appear to have much interest currently.
(You can run it as a stand alone exe in windows without any dependencies)
Thanks for engaging! And good luck on your project(s)!
