> Gym Retro lets you turn classic video games into Gym environments for reinforcement learning and comes with integrations for ~1000 games. It uses various emulators that support the Libretro API, making it fairly easy to add new emulators.

.nes is listed in the supported ROM types: https://retro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integration.html#supp...

> Integrating a Game: To integrate a game you need to define a done condition and a reward function. The done condition lets Gym Retro know when to end a game session, while the reward function provides a simple numeric goal for machine learning agents to maximize.

> To define these, you find variables from the game’s memory, such as the player’s current score and lives remaining, and use those to create the done condition and reward function. An example done condition is when the `lives` variable is equal to 0, an example reward function is the change in the `score` variable.

If you're into RTS, Starcraft 2 is basis for a bunch of research and has an API available - see https://github.com/deepmind/pysc2 or a tutorial for getting started https://njustesen.com/2018/01/16/getting-started-with-the-st...

DOTA had also decent API links as far as I recall.

Also, there's a lot of research on older games, see https://github.com/openai/retro for interfacing with NES/SNES/GBA/etc games.
