Does anyone know if the games currently runs on Linux or Windows? Reading the reviews I am not sure if I can give it a try. I have a controller so that would be no problem.

Runs fine on windows, it has a bug: The game always starts with the lowest resolution. So you blindly have to navigate to the options and raise it to the max. Once you know how to do this it's not hard to do. But it will never start with the stored resolution.

Works fine in 4 player split screen multiplayer and singleplayer.
