Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2. Took some futzing about to get them to work properly in Wine (I had to replace my ATI card with an Nvidia one), but once they were working, they worked almost perfectly. The games don't work at all under Windows 7.

Yet another reason I dislike MS
They should make a windows version of wine so others can play old software.....
In fairness to win7 and starcarft, you can run it in compatibility mode, reduce the resolution and colours to make it work.
MS skill level -- I press buttons and stuff happens
Linux skill level -- I copy and paste into the terminal and stuff happens!
Mac skill level -- Wear a black turtleneck and stuff happens
Windows has fairly good backwards compatibility I think.
There are many games "rebuilt" to work on newer Windows platforms, like GTA2, calssic I think Stronghold no longer works, and my favourite Total Annihlation
The old Microsoft sound card from 95 which MS no longer support still runs fine under Ubuntu, does that count?
This isn't the same, but a while back I lost my key to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. I couldn't reinstall it in Windows, but I was able to install it and play it in Linux with the native installer. I think I had a Soldier of Fortune game that was the same.
I have plenty of games that won't run in Windows or Linux, though. Motoracer was one of my favorites. I just had to throw it away because it won't run on anything.
