Conclusion:Streets Of Rogue ran perfectly once I figured out it was a 64-bit executable only. 64-bit Wine ran it really well without any issues. There is a chance it may run a bit slow, so try setting different screen resolutions to gain some performance. I was unable to play co-op because my game controllers are probably too old for Unity 3D.
