[Wine] Trying to run really old Macromedia Director game

Hello, I have wine v1.1.10 installed from portage on a Gentoo x86_64 box running KDE 3.5.9 and Linux kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r7.  Wine built cleanly and the included apps (iexplore.exe, notepad.exe, explorer.exe, winhlp32.exe regedit.exe and even cmd.exe) all run fine.  Networking works with no trouble in iexplore.exe.  I am very impressed with this app.  

I tested multimedia by downloading and installing winamp v5.541.  It starts and runs fine, and plays ogg and mp3 files without difficulty.  No skipping or stuttering.  The winamp volume control works as expected.  

The reason I installed wine is because my wife wants to play an old Windows v3.1 game that she developed back in the mid 90s using Macromedia Director v4.  This is a 16 bit game that also runs on Win95, Win98, Win2k and XP.  I never tried Vista because I don't have access.  

Anyway the game won't start in wine.  So far I have not tried any winetricks, and I have not experimented with any config settings.

Here is the command line output: 

fixme:hook:SetWindowsHookEx16 System-global hooks (2) broken in Win16
err:dc:CreateDCW no driver found for L"DIRDIB"

Here is a link to a zipfile containing a small app soundtxt.exe  from the game.  This app produces the same error as the main program.

My wife really wants to be able to show this game to some people, and our windows boxes are defunct.  Any ideas on how to make this work in wine?  

Thanks, 
Alan
