I tried the demo, available from http://www.gamershell.com/download_22143.shtml It ran just fine in wine-1.2rc7 with no winetricks whatsoever. I used windowed mode, and both 16 and 32 bit color. (Though I expected 16 bit color to fail, it didn't. Maybe it would on fullscreen.) Can you try that version of the game (or is that what you tried)? The error log you showed made me think that perhaps you chose 16 bit video when the game started, btw. Try 32 bit instead?
