For your information:
I was able to get this game running in Wine Stable 2.0.3 on Lubuntu 16.04
I created a 32bit prefix. Installed winetricks. Using winetricks I installed dotnet40 (uninstalling mono) and d3dx10. Ran winecfg and changed default prefix too emulate windows 7. Then I ran 'wine "Opart 4.exe" -nointro' from the installation directory. No sound but, much better directdraw rendering than TOAW III. Will file a report to appdb after I've done more testing. Hope this helps someone.

I have got no luck with Wineskin Winery in OSX. The game loaded, but ran so slow that was unplayable.

I may try with the winetricks you mention, though...

Regards

Once you go beyond using it to watch CatTube videos in your browser, you'll discover the that shell is never far below the surface of a Linux system; for configuration/setup even if not for actually using the applications afterwards.

I was about to post something clever, but then saw that "Wine" is software.[:D]
