The current latest build of Cave Story DS (about a year old) only lets you run around numerous levels in the game selectable by the touchscreen. The newest version has added NPC's that do not hurt you yet and there are no weapons. That is why nobody has mentioned Cave Story DS.
Anyway, having recently gotten myself a CycloDS, I've been looking around the homebrew scene a lot. There is an excellent working Lemmings port that is very fun to play.

There is also a very good working Doom DS port.

There is ScummVM DS which obviously lets you run some of your favorite adventure games.

It works okay and it does get updated occasionally but the DS can't handle all games.
Then there is DScent which emulates Descent. I haven't tried it yet and it seems it has stopped being worked on but apperently what is done works very well and smoothly.

You need the Descent game files.
Then obviously as has already been said, there are emulators.
nesDS is the best working DS NES emulator. It has great compatibility.

jEnesisDS is the best running Genesis emulator. It works very well from what I've used (Earthworm Jim, Contra: Hardcorps etc)

Also, this emulator is still being actively worked on so will improve in time.
The best SNES emulator is SNEmulDS. It works okay, there is no really good SNES emulator on DS. Don't expect too much.

He said at the start of summer that it wasn't dead but uh... he hasn't said anything since. I assume you exploded.
Lameboy is a very good working Gameboy emulator.

There is also a port of Quake 1 and 2 for DS.
http://quake.drunkencoders.com/
Quake 1 runs pretty well but still strains in its current state. Quake 2 requires an external ram expansion. If you don't have one I would reccomend the EZ Flash 3 in 1. It also lets you play GBA roms that you 'backed up'.
Well, every game I've mentioned has been either a port or emulator. Hmmm....
Well if you want to pursue this more then keep tabs at these websites.
