the EV games combine asteroids style flight with choose your own adventure text walls. I recommend Nova. You'll need to run it in WINE.
How well do these run in wine now? When I last tried (a good few years ago), I remember bugs that stopped me doing a full play through, although I don't remember what they were. I'll give it another shot if things are better now.
On the back of the EV recommendation, I'd add Endless Sky. Very heavily inspired by the EV line, although the feel of combat is a little different. Open source and under development, and should run on most hardware.
I haven't seen any showstoppers besides very small sometimes garbled text (maybe exclusive to my obscure distro) and intro movies crash. People have been working on repackaging them and there's a suite of tools which may help. I'll admit that I've been working on my own various EV clones a lot more than I've actually been playing EV for a long while, but it remains a favorite.
