That really depends on what kind of "advanced" you are thinking of. 3D graphics? Otherwise I'd suggest Creatures.

I've been thinking about this screencap.
I was thinking it could possibly be Chicago or NT3 so I looked at my actual copy of the magazine to see if I could read the text on display better.

The Windows Setup, I believe would say Windows NT Setup on NT 3.x. Chicago would very far long in development at this point, and have a radically different UI.

Simulations would be something to research. Flight sims like Microprose's 1942: Pacific Air War Gold or F-14 Fleet Defender Gold are possible candidates.

Yeah also Clipbook Viewer is said to have first appeared with WFW. So I think it is WFW.
Jorpho mentioned WinG. What about Win32S? Would the OP consider games that run only with Win32S installed?
My memory might be foggy but Sierra's "The Last Dynasty" looked quite nice on Win 3.x
There's a 16-bit port of the "Toy Story" video game that was on the SNES and Genesis. Picked it up as a kid in the Win9x days, realized later that it runs on Win3x (I believe it uses WinG). It says it requires a 486DX2/66, but it seemed a bit laggy on there, so I'd recommend something a little better at least. Given the effects and everything going on in that game, it might be the most advanced 2D game on Win3x. I might reinstall it and have a look to see how it compares to the console version.
