Terminus and SuSE 8.2

Has anyone had any luck getting the game Terminus running in SuSE 8.2,
if so, what is the trick?

I have tired a number things and the only thing I figure it might be is
the libc version (the game - abliet an older one - suggests it would run
fine with libc 1.2 or greater) or our old friend mesa (ie. the game
requires a newer version than what is there).

I've checked the groups.google.com (lists) and a number of other avenues
without luck.

I have game installed in a typical location: /usr/local/games where I
have run others from successfully.

when I start Terminus, I run it as

user$ terminus
user$ terminus +gfx_renderer "opengl"

and it simply fails to start, asks for another disk and fails, seg
faults etc. At any rate, I have yet to get past the game intro.

any advice would be appreciated. Also I have found the information on
the terminus.cnf file sketchy. I don't have one and don't know wherther
to import one form somewhere, create one from scratch, etc. But I don't
have on to start with.
