I assume you are using recent WINE release. If so, try this:
mv ~/.wine{,.backup}
wineprefixcreate
wine setup.exe
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/My_Game
wine game.exe
Where "setup.exe" is game' installer, "Games/My_Game" is where it was
installed in drive_c, "game.exe" is game' main executable.
Please note that it is *important* to cd to the directory with the game
executalbe! Many Windows programs (including games) assume that you run them
this way and will not work otherwise.
If your game still doesn't work then please fill bug report at
http://bugs.winehq.org . Please note that most developers don't read this
list so it is really important to report bugs at http://bugs.winehq.org if
you want to get your bug fixed.
Thank you for using WINE.
