What works
GOG version at 640x480 resolution with 3DFX(glide), also Direct 3D with DirectDraw HAL in hardware mode
What does not
Alt tabbing (or minimizing the game) either crash the game or makes it unresponsive to input from mouse and keyboard, also there's a timing issue if you set vsync with 75hz monitor, makes the seconds shorter this makes missions almost impossible (I noticed this in the last mission sadly, :( ) and cars faster. Direct 3D doesn't draw fog or darkness
Workarounds
the alt tabbing issue is fixed by not allowing the window manager to control windows and emulating a virtual desktop with 640x480 resolution, also you have to set the screen resolution to 640x480 prior to playing the game, in winecfg -> graphics. The timing issue is fixed when you disable vsync and set the monitor to 60hz in nglide_config. Use 3DFX(glide) preferably
