Additional Comments

Multiplayer would be nice. Although it is an older game, it is still lots of fun. LAN multiplayer would save the effort of having to boot into Windows.

HowTo / Notes

Multiplayer via Directplay

Mentioned in a comment by zsolty_szasz:

Multiplayer can work, but requires some setup first.

The problem is with the current DirectPlay implementation. Read here how to set it up: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames

To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) with WINECFG.

HOWTO

In case of any problems be sure to see the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/Infinity_Engine_Games
