(europe.pub) submitted 1 year ago by ceiron@europe.pub to c/retrogaming@lemmy.world 98 comments fedilink hide all child comments I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 (!) still going strong with Batocera Linux running NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) emulators. I’m looking for easy multiplayer games that can be played with a 5yo. Non violent and ideally co-op, bonus points if somewhat educational.

This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he's not "helping". permalink fedilink source parent [–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago This is the way. And in case OP doesn't know: the same can be done with Sonic 3 and then with Sonic and Knuckles. But also, I second starting with Sonic 2. The controls are a bit simpler, and it's a classic. permalink fedilink source parent
