Where to (legally) acquire content to play on RetroPie

Looks like Konami released an Anniversary Arcade Classics the other day:
Scramble
TwinBee
Nemesis (also known as Gradius)
Salamander (also known as Life Force)
Typhoon (also known as A-Jax)
Haunted Castle
Vulcan Venture (also known as Gradius II)
Thunder Cross -
There are some freebies ready to download here
The MegaDrive games are brilliant...

Hi All. Here's a little feedback for those who might be interested. I've succeeded in setting up a RetroPie with roms aquired via some of the methods described here. I've been able to extract roms from the Steam MagaMan 1-6 collection and Sega Genesis Classics collection. I also succeeded in extracting the NeoGeo Metal Slug rom from the linux installer purchased from GOG.

11 Atari Lynx games to download for free -
@BenMcLean A possible lead for the paid section is the PC versions of Taito Legends and Taito Legends 2. I haven't verified this, but I read this on one of the Steam community forums. They aren't in production any more but you can still find copies to buy online.

Something else I forgot to mention about the Aminet is they have a TON of music content too, more techo than you can shake a MOD file player at.

Wow, I really need to update this, and my PI. :)

@BenMcLean Welcome back!

Is this the latest topic on this subject? Let me know if not as I pinned it.
GOG have just released a bunch of games for free. Some which may be usable on RetroPie. I've not checked thoroughly but this seemed like the best place to post even being an old thread.

@BuZz I can't recall any more recent.

Oooh, they got Ultima IV for free now. :)
-
I really need to update this
-
I thought I had updated this with everything but then I saw RetroBrews. Will have to try that out soon!
-
@RetroBrews please add a script that automates downloading and running all the other scripts to get all the ROMs at once
-
Great list. Here are some more emulated games in Steam. But I don't know if the roms can be taken out.

It is mentioned that no ROMS are included with Retropie, but that isn't COMPLETELY true. If you opt to install Ports, the shareware/demo files of those ports are automatically installed and are immediately playable.
-
With the release of Box86 its possible to run games like Another Metroid 2 Remake on Raspberry Pi 4, including some Steam Games. I do wonder how to get something like this integrated into Retropie (or even if its possible).

Added SynthCart for the Atari 2600

Epic Games Store is giving away Samurai Shodown Neogeo Collection for free until the 18th of this month:

I'll check if there's a way to extract the ROMs from the .mbundle files.
