I'm moving to the UK(Brighton) from South Africa, and packed these into a box. So I'll only be able to give em to you when the move is done (2-3 months)

Also, good luck with the move!
Sin I remember was quite hard to get running.
The Ankh/Jack-Keane games was mostly played by my mom, but they were very well done.
The weird thing is I have no recollection of Sacred.

Well, I can confirm that the full version of Sin for Linux runs great on my Ubuntu 20.4 on Mate. You have to use padsp for sound, and I couldn't use Gnome because controls don't work properly. I didn't notice any other issues.
I have all these games, but my poster for Sacred for Linux has few ink stains - I will never buy a cheap pen.

I think that the last time I used the CD with Sacred in 2011 because I also have a version from Desura. Yesterday, I installed Sacred from the CD, and there were some issues with the fresh installation on Ubuntu 20.4.
The installer works only in a text mode on Ubuntu 20.4 because libSM was missing. I have to install one of the 32-bit libraries to run it. I was able to activate the game without any issues.
The sound works without using padsp or aoss, which is awesome.
I remember that Sacred worked well from 2009 to 2011 when I played it more regularly. Yesterday, I played only for the half-hour, so it's hard to judge it.
It's a fantastic game. The last patch is from 2012, so I recommend running a Linux distribution from that period if you notice any issues on the current distribution.
The copy protection had a lot of advantages, but now it's the annoying window asking about the keys and passwords for the first time.
Clive never said anything about removing DRM from a few of their games.

I think that you should check, which libraries are used by the binary files.
