--- Comment #9 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- As comment 2 mentions, only the installer, uninstaller, and intro are Windows executables, and they work fine in Wine. The game itself is DOS, and it works fine when run directly in native DOSBox (including sound) or by using Wine to run the Windows version of DOSBox installed by the game and then starting the game in that (no sound, as mentioned).
What doesn't work is using Wine to start RDX.BAT, RDX2.BAT, or RRT.EXE. The first script plays 2k_intro.exe (a Windows executable) successfully, then fails trying to run RDX2.BAT. Running RDX2.BAT directly results in two DOSBox windows appearing briefly (one native, one the Windows version installed by the app), then closing. Running RRT.EXE in Wine results in a native DOSBox window opening briefly and then closing.
It's possible that this is something that has already been fixed in DOSBox. The native version of DOSBox I have installed is 0.74, and according to http://wiki.winehq.org/DOSBox, some of the changes to DOSBox to improve compatibility with Wine are "currently only available in the SVN Version and will be included in DOSBox 0.75."
