What works
Full installer with win95/98 mode. Quicktime4 installer.
What does not
Up on trying to run the game, a menu appears allowing you to choose graphics hardware; any advanced options cannot be selected. After OK'ing this, the game stops and requests the original CD be placed in the drive (even though it is). Selecting Direct3D from the initial loading menu seems to get the game ever so slightly further (an initial music track starts playing before it crashes). Running a NoCD patch seems to fix this error message; however game must be run in Windows 95/98 mode for the game menus to load up and crashed or crashed of blank screen.

Currently, as of wine 2.4, the game cannot run using Software mode or Direct3D. It will crash shortly after starting the game.
What does work is 3dfx mode. You will need to install a 3dfx/glide wrapper in your wine installation for this to work

Controls
This isn't a mouse game! It looks like there should be a moving cursor in this game, however there is not. So don't think wine's input isn't working.
Use aswd for movement and the number keys for inventory/weapons. The spacebar activates whatever you're currently holding and the tilda key puts away whatever you're holding. Sometimes enter is used to active items, other times spacebar.
Saves
If you move you game folder from one machine to the next, for whatever reason, moving the Saves folder isn't enough. You need to do a fresh install of the game, move the Saves folder into the new installation and then copy the file in /Bin/stgo.pgo from the old location into the new location. It contains references to the save files for some reason and the game won't recognize your old save games without this one file.
