"This week's release of Ubuntu 7.10 is a significant win for the free software community. Not only does this release incorporate an updated package set - most notably with the Linux 2.6.22 kernel and GNOME 2.20, but it also delivers on new desktop innovations from BulletProofX and displayconfig-gtk to Compiz Fusion being enabled by default on supported systems. However, for those business professionals and gamers that remain dependent on some Windows-only binary applications, the WINE project has been making some excellent headway into supporting Windows applications on the Linux desktop. With Ubuntu 7.10 and WINE 0.9.46 in hand, we had set out to compare the performance between Windows XP and Gutsy Gibbon with WINE on two popular DirectX benchmarks."

Too late, I played them a long time ago... on Linux
Day Of The Tentacle is great too. Not sure if you can get it free legally (as you can with the 2 you mentioned), I think so but not sure.
Here are some other games you can play with SCUMMVM engine (according to the forums, you might be taking your chances when you actually try them):
Loom
Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis
Monkey Island 1-3
Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Full Throttle
Also Gabriel Knight II works great under Wine. Great game, although I liked GK1: Sins of The Fathers the best.
