You loose out on automatic updates and not all packages are easy to build. I am not personally familiar with building Gimp. But I’ve tried to build other projects from GitHub only to get errors I couldn’t decipher.

With endless replay. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. Shout out to Open RCT (sim city 3000 is a close second)
Console favourite- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening
Sound track - Chrono Trigger
That long play (where you forget what you were doing if you put the game down) - Metroid Fusion/Prime
Pokemon - Emerald or Soul Silver depending on my mood.
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages are always older and only get updated once everything is stable.
If you are looking for more up to date packages I would recommend using FlatPaks or AppImages since they are usually maintained by the devs and kept up to date.
A cross platform option would be Power ISO. It has an option for the bin/cue format CD games are in and I’ve used it on Linux. It can also do ISO for DVD games
