Works under Dosbox0.72 in Ubuntu 9.04, but with some issues which are described below.
Game description can be found on these sites:

Keyboard
Because of hardware keyboard limitations, multiple keypresses are a problem in all games.
The theory is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key) Some more info: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=378053
To workaround in Threat, use modifier keys, such as ctrl and shift for the player controls. An example key mapping is:
Player1:
| Function | Key |
| forward | '/?' key |
| backward | ';' key |
| left | right ctrl |
| right | right shift |
Player2:
| Function | Key |
| forward | caps lock |
| backward | left shift |
| left | left ctrl |
| right | left alt |
Also, dosbox doesnt seem to properly recognise the IBM z60t keyboard, at least under Ubuntu, so with CTRL-F1, must remap other keys (such as scrlck, F10,F11,F12) to the arrow keys.
Sound
Using Soundblaster1, sound works, but have noticeable lag, and is choppy.
