PCEngine is the Japanese name for the TubroGrafx16... You won't be able to run any PC games on that...

As for PC games, it might be more complicated than just adding them to a folder, but i've never tried it, it's best to check the wiki for a tutorial. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/PC

@kaixman Bubble Hero 2 appears to be a Windows clone of the arcade game, Bubble Bobble. You won't have any luck running Windows games on the Pi, at least not without a significant amount of work.

I would suggest playing the original arcade game or the NES port. Here is a video of NES gameplay to check whether it's what you're looking for:

The simplest option would be to drop the Bubble Bobble NES rom into the NES roms folder, restart EmulationStation and you're ready to play.

Getting the arcade version requires more work regarding getting the correct romset for the emulator. The most straightforward solution is to find the 0.78 non-merged MAME romset and use the lr-mame2003 emulator. Place the rom bublbobl.zip in the arcade or mame-libretro rom folder. Restart EmulationStation and you're ready to play.

If you're happy with Bubble Bobble, it's worth checking out Bubble Bobble II (a.k.a Bubble Symphony) playable on arcade emulator, AdvanceMAME 0.94, and Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2, playable on arcade (lr-mame2003) or NES .
