4Pockets, a developer company pretty famous for their high-quality Pocket PC games, have recently released a desktop (Windows) PC version of 4Connect and Great Gold Rush, two of their earlier, excellent multiplayer-enabled (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/102005MPPPCGames.asp) games.
They can be found here (http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=60) and here (http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=61), respectively.
The games are an exact replica of the Pocket PC version and work just great in multiplayer (I've tested them against Pocket PC opponents over a Bluetooth PAN). The only problem with them is that they use a window sized 240*320; this means you will need to lower the resolution of your desktop to either 640*480 or 800*600 if you want to play these games.
Their third multiplayer-enabled title, Air Hockey Challenge (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1266&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1), still has not been ported to the desktop Windows.
Note that the developer has also ported a lot of their other titles to the desktop Windows. They, however, aren't multiplayer-enabled and, therefore, I haven't tested them on the desktop.
