Hi!
The Linux and Amiga versions were coded in parallel by me and Peter Annuss. Just the Amiga version was not released due to the performance problem. Well, on the AmigaOne no longer a problem :)
I doubt that you'll still find Sin Linux anywhere in shops, BTW. It sold very BAD. If I remember right only 100 copies were ever bought (I mean by dealers to sell them again to end users). And this was not a particular problem of Sin. Actually most Linux games I know of had similar low numbers (well, some REALLY famous stuff like Quake 3 sold better - but asides from that NOT) - at least unless they were sold of as "lowcost games" from the start. Yes, the first two Linux-Games ever published (Hopkins FBI and this strategy game, how again was the name) sold better, but only as dealers did not know then how bad Linux game sold... they often had stock of them YEARS AFTER still. One of the reasons why dealers did not want to take any good numbers of Sin was BTW "we still have so much stock of these other games".
BTW: This comment is not meant as an "attack" on the Linux Operating System. I really like Linux !!! In my view it is "second-best" after AmigaOS :)
