Just in case someone would be interested in this... Dangerous Waters as well as Sub Command work almost perfectly now with latest wine-0.9.49 in Linux. The only problem for now are sound effects (don't work) - of course this is a showstopper, but hopefuly they will eventually fix it. Anyway, both games can be installed and run fine now, so this is a big step forward.
I've created Wine AppDb entires for both games:
