I tested it with wine 1.3.0 stable release. Here it doesn't start, too.
The installation works fine.

But I found some addition system requirements for this game.


http://www.cdaccess.com/html/pc/max2.htm

Requirements:

IBM or 100% compatible PC Pentium 133MHz (P200 recommended), Windows 95 or
above, DirectX 5.0, 16MB RAM (32MB recommended), approximately 80MB hard disk
space, 2x CD-ROM drive (4x recommended), DirectX certified sound card and 1MB
DirectX certified video card, 100% Microsoft compatible mouse.

Tested OK on Windows XP. To install run SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM and DO NOT
install DirectX 5.0.


The original game can not be installed and startet under windows XP so you have
to switch to 98 or ME.

But I get the same screen error dialog "Screen Init Failed". I have even
started it from shell but there not error output is displayed.


It's a really strange bug.
