Now that I remember, I have had some luck with 3D games in VMware. There 
are a couple of tricks you can do and it will run games like Chuzzle 
perfectly and games like Luxor pretty good (little slow). It requires 
modifying the VMware *.vmx file. If you haven't tried these already, add 
these to your *.vmx file;
mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
svga.vramSize = 67108864

This will make your virtual video adapter have 64MB ram and enable the 
3D stuff. You need to have 3D working on the host (your Debian). You can 
then install the DirectX9 stuff (if you need that, and don't want to 
search in neverneverland for it, I have it, let me know).
