There is a very poorly done port, by Digby-Tarvan in aussieland.  From 
what I hear the gfx is busted, and he wanted $600 AU for a copy 10 
years ago.  Obviously nobody up in dollar land ever bought a copy at 
that price.

But, even better if you want to play, there is a well supported m68k 
version of linux available from debian and others that will run on the 
amiga.
