Games like Impossible Mission on Linux
3 of the 4 modern alternatives to Impossible Mission (1984) run on Linux. The cheapest is Deadbolt at € 9,99. All of them are made by independent developers.
Linux is unusually strong for classic gaming, because the open-source engine ports that keep old games alive were often written on it. Native builds are common for anything using a community engine, and most of the rest runs through Proton, which is the same technology that powers the Steam Deck.
