The official recommendation from Wine is don't upgrade to Catalina. Catalina dropped support for 32-bit apps like wine-stable. But I had to upgrade. I built 64-bit wine ( https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/373851/how-to-get- wine-working-on-catalina). I guess it's working. (It runs, though I haven't gotten it to open anything.) It doesn't like stars, though:
$ ./wine64 ../Stars/starsjrc4.exe
001d:err:environ:run_wineboot boot event wait timed out
001d:err:module:__wine_process_init L"Z:\\Users\\scottsch\\Downloads\\Stars\\starsjrc4.exe" not supported on this system
Stars! is a 16-bit application and x86-64 architectures cannot run those. I don't know whether 64-bit Wine is mimicking an x86-64 architecture, but that would give that kind of error message.
The Starsbox design should work, since DOSbox has a 64-bit version, although you'd need to replace the DOSbox .exe it provides. VirtualBox will also work, but there's no prepackaged version of that with Windows and Stars that I'm aware of.
