I tried the demo version (attached version) on Linux with 1.7.16, and only see
the main menu screen with mouse pointer shown and moveable but nothing
clickable.

Is it the same for you?

On my Mac the menu is responsive. Try setting the Windows 95 mode in Wine and
change the system color mode to 16 bit.

That doesn't help. All I get after clicking "new game" or "credits" is either a
crash or (after a while) a popup telling something along the lines of "pay for
my own author's sweat".

Can someone try on both Mac OS and Linux?

I've just checked the demo on Ubuntu 13.04 with Wine 1.7.16. And the menu works
fine (but to get the game to work I first changed the color depth: "xinit
/usr/bin/xterm -- :1 -ac -depth 16"). But the black screen bug is not present
on Ubuntu. It might be just the Mac OS X only issue.

Actually, if I change ddr=opengl to ddr=gdi on Mac OS X the problem is gone.

Is the problem still present with latest Wine?
