What is the result of "wine --version"? How are you trying to run
the game? From the console or your file manager? Have you checked
the appdb (http://appdb.winehq.org), perhaps the game works better
with some versions than others.

What problems are you getting? You're not giving many details. Wine
version/game/error/terminal output would all be helpful.

Did you check http://appdb.winehq.org ?

Also, have you looked at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ ?

How did you try and run it? Applications menu? What happens when you do so?

Are you trying to run this from your windows install? That won't work.
Install it in wine first.
