Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Well... The game generally works. You can play - see the pictures, answer the questions, navigate through the menu.
What does not
1)Sound. At all. The game has rather good voices and music, but i didn't manage to get them on linux. The game says about "No DirectSound support"
[Under windows_2000 the game gives another error messagebox telling that the system doesn't support ADPCM, but the sound is present]
2)The game is slow. Although it's absolutely playable on Core2Duo 7100 (1,86Ghz). It "eats" about 90% CPU. (for windows Pentium 2 is enough). The "fast skippng" is not actually "fast".
3)Movies. Although there are only two of them - logos of the developers - they don't play. Error is "The movie cannot be formatted"
Actually it was fairly simple. You use winetricks to install ffdshow. This installs necessary codecs for the movies to play. You also have to use native quartz.dll.
DIB Engine helps a LOT.
Yes, really. The game runs smoothly with wine patched with DIB Engine and WINEDIB=on.
Fast skipping finally becomes _really_fast. No slowdowns in the options menu. Great.

All you gotta do is erase the 2 video files in the install folder and after a few errors messeges the game starts up.... you can just watch the vids before you play the game....
Minor corrections

The game is slow - probably (as many others of this type) due to the whole "device independent bitmaps" problem.
No sound - this is not a wine bug, this is a developer's bug; it seems that all g-collections games reject (in windows) imaadp32.acm from SP2 if it's not English version of the driver or at least :
following version works
5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148) English (US)
this version does not
5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Polish (PL)
As I haven't seen 5.1.2600.2180 (US) I'm not 100% it's the language check that breaks things, but it does seem this way, cause earlier English versions work.
