Hello AdeC,

the game is very old (file dates are from 1996).
It requests a low graphics mode on startup:

--- snip ---
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 320x240x8
@0! (desktop)
<exit>
--- snip ---

You need to start the game in virtual desktop mode:

--- snip ---
$ wine explorer /desktop=killingtime,320x240 KILLTIME.EXE
--- snip ---

Doesn't crash for me but the screen remains black.
GDI as the DirectDrawRenderer doesn't seem to help.

Yes same for me when i run that too. Would it be possible to run this through
xinit?

Seems xinit will not display in 8bit for me and having tried the other options
on the wine 256 color recommendations page this just refuses to display in 8
bit color

I just finished testing this with 1.7.34 but had the same problem.  Test
results submitted (in the queue ATM).

Game requires 256 colors and I was able to start it with Xephyr.  It does not
work with VNC because it requires both 640x480 and 320x240 resolution while
vnc4server only supports a single resolution.

Opening screen is black.  Audio is present.  After a few seconds, the intro
video starts but only a green screen is shown (audio is present).  After the
video plays (can be skipped with left-click), another black screen is shown,
presumably the menu.  Pressing "q" quits.

Game videos use Cinepak.  When a game video is loaded with GSpot (in AppDB) it
indicates the Cinepak codec is not present (bug #38035).  This can be resolved
but doesn't fix the game.
