rampancy: Everything seems to work as expected, including music, ambient sounds, and saving/loading games. The intro cutscenes also do not play. Mods have not yet been tested.
I also tried it in Wine 1.8 and in Crossover (running patched 1.8.1), both with no overrides of any sort. It seems to work just fine. In Crossover there is flicker at the bottom of the screen when the intro cutscene is playing. In the stable version of Wine, there is no flicker, but I get a feeling it skips some frames.

That's interesting; in my experience, the cutscenes did play but all that I got was the audio with a dark screen. I should have been more specific earlier, and I've changed my post to reflect this.

rampancy: As per instructions on the AppDB and reddit, I also set offscreenrenderingmode=fbo, and UseGLSL=disable in winetricks.

shmerl: May be it's OS X specific issue, but on Linux you don't need that.
Thanks to you both for the extra pointers; I've amended my post with your information.

I get the flicker in Wine 1.9.8. Installing native d3dx9_36 fixes it.
Actually I just tried Bloodlines with newly released Wine 1.9.9 without native overrides, and flickering is gone! I'll update the entry in Wine AppDB.

Yeah, results can vary depending on maintainers. If you really care about that game, you can become one :) You can also ping Wine AppDB admins, it's their task to help with that I suppose.

Game: The Deadly Tower of Monsters
Installer MD5: a4a4b745c58c61820ffd77fd594ba7b8 setup_deadly_tower_of_monsters_2.0.0.2.exe
WineHQ AppDB link:N/A

Distro: Antergos 64-bit
Kernel version: 4.5.1-1
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560Ti
Graphics driver & version: Proprietary 364.19
Wine version(s) tested: Wine 1.9.8

Install notes: Just install & play. You'll need to configure controller support with something like joy2key or xpadder.
How well does it run: Perfect
Details: Played the whole tutorial and everything played, cutscenes and all. I did notice one weird thing and that is if you install and play the game in one prefix and then set up another prefix and install the game on that one and play it the game in the second prefix will have weird sound issues where you cannot change the sound levels so the music will be extremely loud while the director's commentary along with any other spoken speech will be lower than normal so make sure to install the game once and only once and in one prefix.

te_lanus: anyone tried the new Star Wars: Empire at War Gold Pack?
Are you talking about the 2.0.0.3 installer (setup_sw_empire_at_war_gold_2.0.0.3.exe + 2 .bin files)?
If so it is anything but new, and ran flawlessly last time I tried it (must have been on WINE 1.6 or 1.8).
Well, I tried Skyshine's BEDLAM in Wine and the game does start and all buuuuuut the Options menu starts opened and you cannot close it at all. You can still interact with the various elements behind it but you will never be able to close it.

This makes the game very much unplayable in Wine.

Have you tried the new star wars game? Tried at a friends house, he has it running ok on his windows, but it runs way to fast on linux.

Amadren: Game: Simcity 2000 Special Edition
Why would you run it in Wine? It's a DOS game. Just extract the files with innoextract and play it in dosbox.
