Linux version Alpha Centari and Android tablets

[Cassius Critzer]

While doing research on windows version of Civ 2 and the Android, I came across some information on Alpha Centari. Since there was a linux version and since Debian no root runs on android tablets, it appears to be possible that you could run Alpha Centari through Debian.

Windows owners of Alpha Centari might be able to run it through the Exagear emulator(it's a Wine version made to allow old windows games to run on the Android). It possible you could use one of the preexisting keymaps and fake out the Exagear system so Alpha Centari could run. It is not supported though.

The Android system in its various incarnations are crippled forms of the Linux OS. So while you can't directly run the Linux version of Alpha Centari on an Android tablet, once loading Debian no root, then you have something closer to a full Linux environment. So that means you could have an older Gimp version on your tablet and theoretically Alpha Centari. This discussion details not rooting the device. If you root the tablet than you could run Linux directly.
