Additional Comments
The game was unable to find the CD in drive E: so I moved the CD to drive D: instead, which made the game launch.
Tested in clean 64-bit prefix with no overrides nor winetricks.

Elements such as taskbars designed to cover other applications are not hidden when Worms 2 is run in full-screen. This can be fixed by not allowing the window manager to control Wine applications (can be changed in winecfg), or by changing the taskbar's options so that windows are allowed to cover it.
Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working, place the DLLs in this archive
in Wine's windows/system32 directory. Then, start winecfg and add dll
overrides (native, builtin) for the following DLLs: dplayx, dpnet,
dpnhpast and dpwsockx.
NOTE: the game freezes when exiting a multiplayer game.
The following information was extracted from a user comment:
CD error
Basically, in some situations (not all, it seems, because some people
don't get this on Windows but some do, but I digress), Worms 2 will only
scan the first CD-ROM drive it finds.
How does it find CD-ROM drives? Why, by looking at the drive letters in order!
So, all you need to do is ensure Worms 2's CD-ROM drive is mounted
as the first drive letter that is a CD-ROM drive. you can do this by
deleting or moving all unwanted drive symlinks from .wine/dosdevices and
moving Worms 2's drive symlinks to d: and d::, say - make sure you get
both the single- and double-colon symlinks or you'll just cause more
problems.
In summary:
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
rm d: d:: # Doesn't matter that you're doing this as wine should create them back if they're important (theoretically!)
mv x: d: # Assuming x is the letter at which your Worms 2 disc is currently mounted.
mv x:: d::
