Games split by which side you are on: playing (emulators, launchers, companion utilities, open-source game titles), making (game engines, server tooling), and tools built around one particular game.
The Minecraft cluster is the densest of the last group: launchers, mod management and server setup each get their own subgroup, because that game's ecosystem leans on third-party tooling more than most.
To run titles from older platforms or consoles, look at Game Emulators and have the right firmware or BIOS ready. To play with friends, look at Game Server Tools. To build your own game, go straight to Game Engines. Emulators and companion utilities can touch copyright and terms of service, so read up before you use them.
