Installation
The installation will be confused by the lack of a shell.dll file. Merely creating an empty file will allow the installation to proceed. However, I recommend you find a native shell.dll in the event that the game actually needs it for something.
touch ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/shell.dll
Running
The game will likely give an error about needed 256 colors. This is a known issue in wine. A workaround is available here.
Unfortunately, on my computer the game shows very odd colors and crashes horribly when I click on the image inside of the book.

mac@mac-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32$ touch shell.dll
The installer will be able to install the game but not cannot install quicktime. Install quicktime by running the quicktime installer of the cd:
mac@mac-desktop:/media/MYST/install.qtw$ wine setup.exe
The game requires 256 colors to run. The game hangs on start up and I could not see the error messages.
