This is a more recent version of TLJ, which runs under Windows XP and fixes several crash issues. The game still uses DirectX 7 interfaces, and DirectDraw.
There is a downloadable demo on the company website http://www.longestjourney.com/ that makes for a good testcase (exact same code as the game itself).
Old test results
The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Installation by running setup.exe directly from the disc, videos, audio and starting the game.
What does not
Autorun launcher on the CD won't load. Characters don't display at all. It looks like the shading (black triangles) is displayed, but nothing else.
When trying to exit the game via the menu at the top a grey box appears and the mouse cursor disappears making it impossible to exit by normal means.
What was not tested
Gameplay beyond the opening area.
Additional Comments
The video is slow enough that it's completely out of sync with audio. This happens during FMVs and when attempting to walk from one end of the screen to the other. If you move far enough for the next area to be displayed it's as though the character "jumps" into the next area.

Installs OK, doesn't run though.

I have the original game, not sure which build, it is the 4-CD version. With wine 0.9.35, it installed OK (I did a minimal install), music is awful unless you use the "driver emulation" option (Audio-> OSS sound, driver emulation checked).
Fonts do look a little weird, not sure if they are wrong though. IIRC they weren't very 'beautiful' natively either.
When I try to launch the game, I get a tiny square at the upper left corner of the screen and I see something that looks like gears. Then it hangs.
