I've had (quit a long time ago now -ages before transgaming-) a thread 
with Lionel Ulmer about crashes with half life. For some reasons, half 
life used weird and unsupported open gl functions. Lionel explained to 
me that those fancy function won't be be supported by wine.
Luckily, the latest patches from half life removed those crappy things.
All i had to do was:
download the latest patches from sierra,
run the patches using wine,
and i could play hl :-) with a similar cmd line:

wine hl.exe -console

maybe it can help...
