Like the title says, are there XP only games that don't work in any other Windows version ? (well, except maybe 2000)

That's the closest your going to get to a answer.

Microsoft dropped support for DirectX for Visual Basic in Vista/7, so any program that uses that interface won't run.
I'm not sure if it's possible to get such programs to run just by copying the DLLs from an XP installation, though, or if all such programs will also run in Win9x.

Not quite what is being asked but,
I'd say Mech warrior4 Mercenaries is a Windows XP game really can't remember if it works in 7 without playing about but its grief getting it to run in windows 10 (could not get it to work with compatibility mode) not tried Mechwarrior 3 but also probably expect "XP good" , lastly most of the X series of games up to x3 are solid for Windows XP, yes okay x1 x2 work in 98 not sure about x3 the X Superbox etc runs in XP not 98 and you get access to better graphics cards over windows 98.
