Simple but awesome demos of Wine?

I have to suggest Knytt:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6849

It's a simple 2d platformer. While it's not impressive in the sense of
"look at all the amazing stuff wine must be doing for this to work",
it's a thing that you can just download and run (with any version of
wine since 1.0). Unlike some other games, it should be immediately
accessible to everyone. There's a nice tutorial you can run through in
a minute or so.

It was written using multimedia fusion, meaning a native port is
impossible without a complete rewrite.

Also, it looks and sounds really nice.

Just, uh, don't press escape when it's in full screen mode.
