From the help of @Gmlb256 I was able to track down a few games that utilise the WinDirect API for graphics:

WinQuake
Hexen II
Grand Theft Auto
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow
Total Mayhem
Balls of Steel v1.0

The list is too small for now, but I invite others to help in expanding the list.

WinHexen is a Win32 port of the Raven's Hexen sources.
For graphics rendering, Windows GDI is used.
The MIDAS library is used for sound processing.
WinHexen compiles with Microsoft Visual C V4.0 & V5.0 compiler.

The minimal requirements for WinHexen are a Pentium with 16Mb of RAM & Win95/NT.

There is WinHexen, but I got too carried away, should be Hexen 2. I haven't tested WinHexen yet, although it was on my list.

Added Balls of Steel v1.0. On Windows NT, running the v1.0 doesn't detect non VESA/WinDirect modes. 1.2 had added the DirectDraw mode while 1.3 removed it.
