Hi! Fellow Linux user here. I just got it to start on Arch Linux by installing the gconf package from the AUR (where it's listed as "an obsolete database configuration system"), then executing the nw file. It's a little weird for something to require gconf in 2020, but not yet insurmountably difficult.
Thanks! Installing that package worked here too. libgconf2.4 on my Linux Mint machine. Mildly bizarre that 'nw' was the file to run. Oh well... I'm in!
How did it work for you? After my successful launch, it crashed after just a few minutes. So I gave up and installed it on Windows in exasperation, but still haven't worked up the motivation to go back and play.
