I put the limit at GUI that enable to launch multiple emulator. Individual emulator that come with a GUI and launcher limited to one game did not makes it to the list (neither Minetest, albeit apparently a launcher for multiple games

) elsse I would be still making it

.
I did not put CLI launchers too. But that's arbitrary decision, if someone has a complementary list and wants me to include it I would.
