Is Adreno 200 enough for gaming?

You will see lag, 
and then not be happy.

For better experience you'll need to look at a dual core with at least an Adreno 220 for smooth PS emulation

Stay away from single core devices, serioulsy. Stay away man!
You'd be able to run Angry Birds type games smoothly, if even that.

It's not that bad. My old SL on gingerbread was good enough to run Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfer

True but most phones at those specs are coming out with ICS rather than GB, single cores are crap for ICS in my experience (unless it's stock i guess).

Samsung Galaxy Young or Sony Xperia E.

My SL ran faster and more efficient when I flashed to JB compared to when it was on GB, so I'd expect them to do ok on less demanding games.

Do you think the Galaxy Young/Xperia E can handle games or should i go for a local brand which has Mediatek MT6589 quad core cpu and powervr sgx541 gpu?

Both of those can't handle PS1 emulation. The cheapest brand new Samsung that can handle those properly would probably be the S3 mini or the SDuos.
And I don't recommend getting weird branded device. Id rather get an older model like an S2 or S Advance. They are cheap now.

That would depend on the game. I doubt that your tablet can handle say, Chrono Cross or Fencer Musashi. Earlier games like Chrono Trigger and Crash bandicoot perhaps.

Games tested: Tekken 3, Rainbow Six, Gran Turismo (lagged a bit with studders here and there, a lot)
Pretty much good performance. BTW I own the discs too
That would probably now fall under what the player himself consider playable. I know players who thinks 20fps is fine, and I know others who complains of slowness at anything below 50fps. An example would be me and a friend of mine who plays Skyrim on similar laptops. He's fine on 26fps on high settings, but I want it at around 40fps so I set it to medium.
In this scenario, best thing would be for people to check themselves if they can live with what they find.
