Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Retrogaming Collection at 68% against Retro Game Emulator's 0%. Retrogaming Collection also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Retro Game Emulator's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
