The wine developers probably don't have those games laying around;
could you try to find URLs for downloadable demos for them
(e.g. Pharoh's demo is at
http://www.download.com/Pharaoh/3000-7482_4-916851.html,
right?) and file bug reports at http://bugs.winehq.org for them
if they don't already have any.  Please be specific about the failure,
and include any messages output on the wine console when the games fail.

BTW Pharoh demo seems to run perfectly for me with wine from git (0.9.17
plus a bit).
