Descent 3 1.4eu works almost flawless in Wine. You have to use a nocd
crack to get around the copy protection. It's a bit hard to find - aMule is
your friend here.
You have to select OpenGL in the setup to run the game!

What works
game is completeable
What does not
configuring to non-OpenGL (Dirct3D works, but with loads of artefacts), joystick config (I have none and selected this tab will crash wine)
Workarounds
What was not tested
all possible combos of details/model/texture settings etc., the standard works, so should all of them

Additional Comments
I did not use a nocd crack or patch. I tested both the dual-cakebox and the double-jewelbox versions, both eu-german.
