Additional Comments

Game should work out of the box if you copy an installed folder, if you want to install, there is a workaround that are also needed on real windows, game installer doesn't work on windows versions higher than xp, so you need to set windows version to windows xp from winecfg to be able to install game, or using winetricks:

winetricks -q winxp

If you don't like wine fonts, you can install arial font with:

winetricks -q arial

If you want game videos to be played, you need indeo codecs, you can install it with:

winetricks -q icodecs

When game is fullscreen, that resolution seems to remain like that after game is closed, you can use lutris-fshack to make sure resolution is not changed and scaled, or alternatively use virtual desktop from winecfg.

If you don't want to use lutris and virtual desktops, you can launch the game inside an Xvnc and connect it with a vnc viewer like Remmina or some scaling enabled viewer, it gives best results.
