The package comes bundled with a few built-in games, but also allows you to load games from your sdcard. Specifically, it implements a 'z-machine': a virtual machine designed in 1979 by Infocom for playing text adventures, which has been re-implemented on nearly every computer and PDA since then. To learn more about the platform and all the games available, start by reading the wikipedia entry on Interactive Fiction. To get involved with development, join the twisty-dev googlegroup and introduce yourself! We're currently in the process of doing a massive rewrite of the game: we're moving from a java-based interpreter (fairly slow) to a set of C-based interpreters running native ARM code (fairly fast, and compatible with a wider range of games.)
