But Wine Is Not An Emulator :-) (And it can run _some_ Windows games as well as Windows. Quite a lot, but not so many the OP should assume the one he cares about works without checking first.

CorelDraw looks a better, but depends on version: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=440)
