Still: I'd be interested in looking up some recommended/top games and trying them out :) It's good that this project is coming out!

Or may be not the same, but I saw many great games on those sites. It seems that infamous <a href="http://www.the-underdogs.info/" rel="nofollow">Underdogs</a> still alive, for example :) I think that old DOS-games sites (and older console or Commodore-Atary ROM sites) can offer the same for free.

I haven't looked at the site to see if we are talking about Windows ports (which likely won't work on my Ubuntu system) or emulation (which likely would work on my Ubuntu system).
