Not exactly, but yes, I have dozens of Win9x and Win16 apps that are not likely to work with Wine,
since most were from the same publisher (DK Multimedia), from the same age (pre-2000),
have the same dependency (QuickTime 2.x, 16 and 32 bit),
and I've tested few of them (on Wine 1.1.x - 1.3.x), none works.

Only one I've got it posted on AppDB was My Amazing Human Body (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=12458) (DK, win32, depends on quicktime32)
which got a near-garbage rating by definition, quicktime issue.

Another one (not on AppDB yet), this one got a regression, "The Way Things Work 2.0" (DK, win16, depends on quicktime16)
program itself crashed, regression on installer (it works on wine 0.9.x) and quicktime issue.

and another few apps from that age (still not on AppDB too)
- I Love Science (DK), fails on cd detection and quicktime.
- Lion King Activity Center (Disney), fails on mci.
- Math Quest with Aladdin (Disney), fails on palette setting.

But since Wine Win9x support happened to cease faster than I expected,
I will try harder on posting every apps to AppDB and filing bug reports for all failures as fast as possible,
especially for apps mentioned above.
