I still have the box, manual, and 3 discs, and it occurs to me that I haven't tried playing it since probably 2000 or 2001.
Apparently the original Vicarious Visions website doesn't mention the game anymore, as the studio moved on to bigger and better things, but at least Archive.org still lets you download the patches? Of course, if your PC, like my laptop, doesn't have a CD drive, it's harder to install. I do see that the Windows version is available as a download on an abandonware site.
Has anyone tried playing this older game in the relatively recent past, and if so, were you able to get it working without too much hassle?

I remember it being featured in a gaming magazine (I don't remember which).
I think it got a bit of the short end as it came out during the death of the space sims. I played it a bit, but it never hooked me like Independence War 2 did, which came out around the same time.
Iwar2 played fine on wine, so I'd imagine Terminus would too if you can't get the Linux version to work. I also lack the optical drive and probably have thrown away many old games from that time.

This was using the Terminus Point Edition community bug fix and enhanced version. Unfortunately that web site died in 2018 but is archived at; https://web.archive.org/web/20180114112718/http://www.terminuspoint.com/.
