PS2 emulation is my recent surprise. If you have a powerful enough device, then AetherSX2 will run games extremely well on it. Less powerful devices can still run PSP games using the remarkable PPSSPP emulator.
Then there's the whole business of emulating Windows PCs. There's a number of impressive apps that can be used to play even fairly new titles. I believe Winlator is the latest.
Yeah x86 emulation is actually huge, is winlator in a usable state yet?
I've only used it with older games so far, but it works really well already. If you don't mind a bit of fiddling with the configuration, I highly recommend trying it out.
Edit: ETA Prime's video on the emulator is a few months old already, but it's a good starting point:

Amazing, I'm saving that!
