Monkey Island worked wiht AdLib, even with speaker. Quality suffered.
In our case I would not mind having even AdLib quality level as fallback

It's actually not a problem to store them (most people use fairly large CF

I was not talking about putting game selection there, only about exposing
list
of games -- practically trivial task. Right now the list is private to
scummvm.cpp.
