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.

SNES:

  • Harvest Moon - this can lead into allowing the kid to plant something IRL and having them water it regularly, allowing them to "be a real farmer". Incidentally this is also a great way to get a child to eat vegetables, as a child who refuses to even consider eating a vegetable will change their mind when they grew it themselves

  • Super Mario Kart

Mega Drive:

  • Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - simple puzzle game with humorous characters from the old cartoon
