I'd like to see the WIndows Vista version of Mahjong. It is one of the better versions I have seen.

I would love to see air combat simulations-costs about $50.

Crysis, COD4, entire AOE/AOM series, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3

Definitely Cyan's MYST... I am really missing that game (I know only the first one of the series, though). It comes from Macintosh but has already been ported for Windows, so it should probably be easier for the developers. Maybe the company's name now is Ubisoft, I'm not sure.

Other games I would vote for would be:
Blue Byte Software: Settlers II
PopCap: Bejeweled II and Chuzzle Deluxe

You could probably try running Myst in wine. I've heard where people report that it runs perfectly. It's not quite as nice as a native port, but at least it is something!

World of Warcraft (and Starcraft, too). Then I could build a new machine for my wife. Seriously, WoW is the only reason she is sticking with Windows. Please, Blizzard! Save me.

Prey (humanhead/3dRealms) is an awesome FPS (alien vs man)game that's already been ported to GNU/Linux by Ryan Gordon over at http://icculus.org/prey/

Take a moment to let Ryan know that us GNU/Linux users are loving games being ported over to GNU/Linux

You can also see a quick video of me playing Prey on my Dell Ubuntu GNU/Linux machine, check it out on my blog at:

Go GNU/Linux!!

Cheers!

WoW has a gold rating on the wine appDB from memory, it would be fairly easy to get running well, i'd imagine your wife would have no issue if you could prove to her it works :P

Diablo - any of them.
