Inner Worlds was the first commercial game for Linux that was published on the CD in 1996, and it was mostly developed on Linux:

I think it will be fun to play it, but I do not know how to run this game on the modern Linux distributions:

Inner Worlds is one of the five commercial games for Linux that had been published between 1991 and 1997:
- Abuse
- Doom
- Inner Worlds
- Quake
- SimCity
Unfortunately, there is a bad news about this game for Linux:
"This is based on the 1.2 retail version of the game. If anyone has the 1.3 retail version or the CD (which includes the Linux version as well), please let us know as it appears to be gone from the internet."
