There seems to be more engines and frameworks than actual games. So I am gathering list of them to get an overview.

Feel free to correct, update or suggest.


FP) Free pascal + Lazarus.

Acronym	Access	Updated	FP	Delphi	Comments
Allegro	C/C++	2017	Wrapper	Wrapper	Allegro is a cross-platform library mainly aimed at video game and multimedia programming. It handles common, low-level tasks such as creating windows, accepting user input, loading data, drawing images, playing sounds, etc. and generally abstracting away the underlying platform. However, Allegro is not a game engine: you are free to design and structure your program as you like.
Castle	FP	2017	Examples		Game engine
GLScene	Delphi Components	2017		Examples	GLScene is an OpenGL based 3D library for Delphi and C++Builder. It provides visual components and objects allowing description and rendering of 3D scenes in an easy, no-hassle, yet powerful manner.
LGL	DLL only	2017		Examples	Luna Game Library - Simple & Elegant Game Programming. 2D game library, Direct3D
nxPascal	FP+Delphi	2017	Examples	Examples	nxPascal is a free game engine that tries to remain lightweight and portable. It is compilable under latest Lazarus on possibly all operating systems, and at least Delphi 7. So far this covers: * 2D and 3D OpenGL graphics. .
Mingro	DLL only	2017 Alpha	.pas	.pas	An old-school game engine, much like good old ID and Apogee games as Duke Nukem, Commander Keen and Biomenace, slightly inspired by Diana Gruber's "Action Arcade Adventure Set". Made with Allegro.pas and programmed in Pascal.
PGDCE	Dreams				PGD Community Engine
Phoenix	Delphi	2013		Examples	The Phoenix Game Framework is a set of classes for helping in the creation of 2D and 3D games in pascal.
Prometheus	.pas files	2014
PXL	FP+Delphi	2016	Examples	Examples	Platform eXtended Library (PXL) is a cross-platform framework for developing 2D/3D video games, interactive and scientific applications. It aids the developer with mathematics, hardware control, resource management, displaying real-time graphics and text, handle user input and network communication capabilities. Chipcomputers.
Quad engine	Delphi	2017	.pas	Examples	DirectX9 graphics engine. Precise texel-to-pixel render. Sprite engine with rotating, scaling, coloring, etc. Rendering into texture. Animated sprites. Support for non-power-of-two textures. Custom fonts from textures with aligning, scaling, coloring, kerning, etc. Classes for simple pixel and vertex shaders use Postprocessing. Support of BMP, JPG, TGA and PNG image formats. Delphi 2009+ compatible. Full shaders support. Camera with rotate, scale, move. Multiregiter textures.
SDL1	FPC		S2DL 2011		Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.
SDL2	C	2017	Headers	Headers	Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.
SFML	Visual C++	2017	PasSFML SFML/CSFML	PasSFML	SFML provides a simple interface to the various components of your PC, to ease the development of games and multimedia applications. It is composed of five modules: system, window, graphics, audio and network.
Terra	FP				Game engine
TileEngine	DLL only	2017	Header	Header	Cool 8-bit effects
ZenGL	FP+Delphi	2013	Examples	Examples	Cross-platform game development library written in Pascal, designed to provide necessary functionality for rendering 2D-graphics, handling input, sound output. OpenGL 1.x only
