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 games.

They can be found here and here, 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, 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.
