All of the Freddi Fish (1-4), Putt-Putt, Spy Fox (1 and 2 at least) run
natively using wine or wine variant.

You can make Frogger2 work(wine)... somewhat of a crap shoot though.... I had
it working for awhile, and now it doesn't (I really like Frogger2... so
I'll try harder).

Many of the Math/Reading Blasters work(wine).

PocketTanks(wine) works... and is fun IMHO.

JazzJackrabbit2 works(wine).

The Nancy Drew stuff I have not gotten to work with wine or any of the
variants (CrossOver, Cedega)... but obviously works with VMware, as
well as most any other non-3D game... a lot of DirectX works with VMware,
just not the uber-accelerated stuff.

I can try to create a more specific list.
