The Journeyman Project Pegasus Prime (1997), gog version

[etwineb]

I bought The Journeyman Project Pegasus Prime, 1997 version from gog, but I have a problem with wine.

It is fairly strange, the game starts and the main menu works. But it seems there is no control in the game and animations are simply skipped.
For example starting "Interface Interview" goes in the menu you hear: "The journeyman is..." and the goes back the main menu.
Similarly if you start the game the animation start, it seems it quickly skip the computer message and no actions are possible after.

There is no appDB entry for the 1997 version and I have no idea of what to try. However since it is a such old game I think it is strange it does not work.

What can I try? I am using wine-1.7.16

Games that old often have problems in Wine. Did you install to a 32 bit wineprefix? (You should.) Have you tried setting the Windows version to 95 or 98?

If neither of those things help, post terminal output.

Here it is, no specific WINEDEBUG or wine dll override settings, Windows version set to win98 in winecfg. I tried to see the Interface Overview and left.

I am afraid it is a mix of wine and the game output.

The err:ole line might imply a threading problem?
