Not for me. I tested the "Gold Edition" of "Serious Sam: The First Encounter"
in wine 1.3.2.

I don't know how Tethys did it, but this is how I fixed the game to work
without needing the cd in the computer:

Step 1: Install the game from the cd.

Step 2: Patch to the latest version 1.05.

Step 3: Create a new folder on your computer, lets call it "CD", open up the
"Drives" tab in "winecfg", and set this folder as a new drive. Click on
"Advanced" and make sure "CD-ROM" is checked, not "Autodetect".

Step 4: Copy the files "Entities.dll" and "SeriousSam.exe" from the game cd
into the "CD" folder. These files are located in the "Install/Bin" folder on
the game cd. Make sure to keep the file structure intact. In other works the
"CD" folder should contain a folder named "Install", which contains a folder
named "Bin", which contains the two files.

Step 5: In the root of the "CD" folder create the hidden files ".windows-label"
and ".windows-serial". In the ".windows-label" file place the label of the cd,
and in the ".windows-serial" place the serial. These can be found by placing
the original cd into your computer, opening the "Drives" tab in "winecfg",
highlighting your cdrom drive and clicking on "Advanced". In my case it was:
Label:SamFE_Gold   Serial:5689CB0C

And that should be it. The game should now play without the cd.

This method can also be used to play the "Second Encounter" without needing the
cd in your computer . In this case there is only one file needed, the
"EntitiesMP.dll" file located in the "Install/Bin" folder on the cd of the
"Second Encounter". The labels in this case were:
Label:SamSE_Gold   Serial:99CAE45D
