These free games are occasionally offered on ROM cartridges by the developer, so they can be used on original home video consoles, but also downloaded for emulators.
ROMs are short for read-only memory. In the emulator/rom scene it is a catch-all for cartridge dumps, ISO disc backups, etc. They can be played on the hardware if you have means to flash a cartridge, bypass the verification, or use a "flash cart" which varies on the system. Homebrew, when applied to video games, refers to games produced by hobbyists for proprietary video game consoles which are not intended to be user-programmable.

Uzebox
- Arkanoid_(Uzebox)
- DrMario_(Uzebox)
- The Uzebox Games and Demos Uzebox wiki page also list potential fully-free games. Note that beside the license we also need to make sure they don't have any nonfree build dependencies (like windows tools to convert graphic files for instance, dependencies on avr-studio, etc). We probably need a way to review that as well somewhere. For Arkanoid I reviewed it in the DistroExecutionEnvironments#Other_execution_environment Libreplanet wiki page. The same info is also on the Parabola Emulator_licensing_issues wiki page.
