I think that to use wine you don't necessarily need a windows partition...

First off, I'm not familiar with the game, so I'll tell you very generically what you need to do.

If it's a windows based game, wine or another windows emulator would be needed to run it. I don't have a windows partition or anything like that on my system either, yet I play fallout2 regularly thru wine on my system. The setup is easy to do, and it runs fairly well.
Wine includes dll's in the download, then you set up a fake windows directory in your home directory, and you can then install your programs there.

If the game is dos based, you would need to set up one of the dos emulators, such as freedos or dosemu, in order to play it.
