I personally think you should not pursue these old games. Most of the instructions are for older versions of ubuntu, and thus, older packages as mentioned earlier.

I don't know as I don't know where in that page you linked to are stuck at.
Oh right, I got through the whole thing. However, when I try to run the game, I'm getting the same error as my previous post.
EDIT: I just had a thought, maybe the archived binaries are for the US version of MOHAA, when I have the UK version, and it seems the only way to get those binaries is to run the installer, which I'm having trouble doing right now...

It was a bad spot in a bad day in the universe for me today.
So you are on your own.
Sorry. 
It's fine, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I still think it's possible to run it, before I had to reinstall Linux Lite, I had a program that uses libgtk-1.2 (ePSXe) working just find on this machine. The packages may have dropped support, but that doesn't mean they won't work.
I figured out how to install libraries in 32-bit mode, it seems you simple type ":i386" at the end, I tried it with "libstdc++5", and it installed, and it got me a step further with the archived mohaa binaries, I'm getting some other errors, though, here's what came out of the terminal:

How do I fix it?
I also tried doing the same thing for the installer, but I got the same errors as before, it seems the libgtk libraries were taken off of the ubuntu servers or something... How would I get the installer working now?
Nevermind, I fixed the problem, I typed in:
Code:
./mohaa_lnx +set r_gldriver libGL.so.1
and it works perfectly! The only problem is that there's no sound, but I heard sound issues were common with the game, but is there anything I can do to sort it out?
EDIT: It seems that OpenAL is the issue, it can't load it up, it might be missing or not working.
Code:
OpenAL: Opening device {default}...
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
OpenAL: Could not open device
OpenAL: Destroying channels...
OpenAL: Channels destroyed successfully.
OpenAL: initialization failed. No audio will play.
I installed OpenAL on my system, but it didn'thelp, is there a code I can use similar to the one above but with OpenAL?
EDIT: Nevermind, I installed osspd, and that fixed the problem, I'm getting sound now, although some sound effects are missing, but I hear that's a common issue with the game, and that there isn't much I can do about it.
Thanks everyone for all of their help anyway!
