--- Comment #11 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- IMO the bug is valid because it works in XP with compatibility set as stated in comment 9.
In Wine hacking different functions to return 8 instead of real bpp or using VNC or Xephyr to emulate 8bit always end in the game running with black screen, it is possible to random click the screen and reach the game (identified by the animal sounds playing).
I don't know how to debug this or anything, the game is old, interest is low.
So while in XP compatibility setting is required in Wine there is no possible workaround so far.
