The only suggestions I could make would be to try it under VMware with
an older distro installed in the virtual machine...assuming that the
graphics capability of VMware supports the rendering (it won't support
DirectX with Windows as the guest OS).

The sad fact is that Linux has moved on, and no one has really stepped
forward to fill Loki's shoes in the gaming arena. Although Battle for
Wesnoth *does* keep me pretty occupied these days--if you like
turn-based strategy games, I'd highly recommend it. :)
