Dr Brain 3 is a 16bit Windows program that requires 8bit colors. So to get it running we have to use one of these methods https://wiki.winehq.org/256_Color_Mode I tried every last one of those methods and every method leads to the same result you can see in the image attached to this bug. No error message is printed out by wine. I encountered this bug a few years ago for the first time, but didn't open a bug report for it, since I thought this could be a problem with the virtual X. However when viewing images in the Xephyr session all colors are displayed correctly. Right now the only way for me to run this game is using dosbox with win3.1 or another form of emulation.
