What goes in

Games whose makers released them under an open source licence or into the public domain, so anyone may copy and share them. Each one links to its licence and its source.

Copyleft

10 games are copyleft (GPL or MPL): free to play and share, but changed versions must keep the same licence. We host the source for the exact ROM next to each one.

What never goes in

Commercial games, "abandonware", freeware without a licence, and anything with non-commercial terms. Please don't post or ask for those ROMs on the forum either.
