I'm playing Gabriel Knight 1 right now on Windows XP, but I'm running it in DOSBox. There's a patch that you can use that is supposed to get the game running in Windows XP; it didn't work for me, but you could give it a try. I don't have the link right now, but could find it if you want.

Grim Fandango is compatible with Windows XP. However, if your computer supports hyperthreading, you will have to turn hyperthreading off (there are instructions on how to do that on the Gameboomers website.

As far as I know, Freddy Pharkas is a DOS game (I could be wrong about this, so someone please correct me if I am). But I believe it will run in DOSBox.

So, yes, they are all doable.
