While the Librem 5 does support many actively developed games, it also has an impressive list of emulators that can be used.

Mame (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), Mednafen, and RetroArch can all be easily installed from PureOS today. These emulators cover many of the basics from Apple II to SNES.

Some emulators are not yet in our store, but you can still build them by hand. Snes9x, mupen64, and PPSSPP fall in this category, but they are well worth your time to build.
