 Ne> For sure, I'm interested.

I'll just do a basic writeup for now.

First head here and grab the bundle:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ambroshia-linux-bundle/

Unarchive it somewhere and follow the install instructions. This assumes you
have Ubuntu or Debian (or a derivative) and have multilib enabled. It's
important to install the lib included to have the game work.

However, you'll note that trying to run './ambconfig' fails:
Fatal error: glibc detected an invalid stdio handle
Aborted (core dumped)

You'll have to install and configure this to use an older libstdc++5 library.

sudo apt install libstdc++-5-dev
sudo apt install libstdc++-5-dev:i386

Note that trying to run the binary still fails because it isn't looking for
our newly installed libs. You can confirm by using 'ldd' to see it's pointing
at libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Use patchelf to point to our newly installed libs:

patchelf --replace-needed libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.5 ambconfig

And...now it works :)
