What works
game play control, sound, animation, save and load, cinematics.
What does not
The game crashes just before playing an introductory cutscene due to incomplete wine implementation of Cinepak codec.
Workarounds
To avoid crash, install and override with native iccvid.dll.
Also set MS Windows version to 95 or something below XP or NT to get rid of harmless warning.
What was not tested
No network play. Never played to the end.
