I tried the demo with Wine-1.3.1 and have some good news :)

1. Starting with a clean prefix, the game first stops with an error message:
'GDIFirstLibClass.CreateFont: cant find font'
Workaround: 'winetricks corefonts' I guess the missing fonts are the Verdanas.

2. Now the game can get to the loading screen, but throws a series of messages
that cannot play the intro videos.
Workaround: 'winetricks wmp9 quartz d3dx9' plus a native devenum.dll are
needed. (I'm not sure about d3dx9 was really needed).

3. If all went well, you can get to the main screen and the game is playable.

The originally reported error about: 'TGameCamera.Tick: Camera Update fault'
was fixed somewhere between 1.1.44 and 1.2. Now we only got the missing font
and video codec issues (has workarounds).

Please, check the game with a recent version of Wine, using the mentioned
overrides.

p.s.: This is another game, besides Darkstar One, which never worked in Wine in
the past. Around the 1.2 version of Wine both game began to work. Good job!
