Dan,

As far as games go, off the top of my head there is WoW, and Guildwars. Battlefield 2/2142 both seem good choice. Counter Strike: Source and COD4 are gold rated. Lastly Crysis is gold rated too. There is an issue with punkbuster but that only effects online play.

3Dmark06 seems to work to some degree, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13809 .

Also it might be interesting to show off, how Wine works with CUDA, http://gpu2.twomurs.com/index.php?title=Main_Page . There are some emails on the mailing list back when I first started working on the wrapper. I think it shows just how advanced Wine is. Not only can it run a windows program but with a wrapper it transfers the calls from windows dll to linux .so to the GPU, with stellar performance.

I'm going to be giving a Wine presentation at

(I will say lots more than is written there; the
slides are kept simple on purpose, with just
the key idea in the caption.)

A large part of the presentation
will be demos of platium-rated apps.
Can people suggest compelling apps to demo?
Right now my list is kind of boring-sounding:
 Framemaker 7
 Kid Pix
 gp-Untis
 Photoshop cs2
 Futuretax
 Dreamweaver

It'd be nice to also have some games, but I don't
play enough to know which ones to pick.   I suspect
online games are out, since I can't count on an
internet connection.

I'm tempted to write an autohotkey script to demo each
app so I don't have to worry about fumbling mouse
clicks while on stage.  The ability to script would be
a nice demo itself.

This show is a big opportunity for us to
introduce Wine to a large audience, so
any help here would be appreciated.
