Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoThese are great! All with little to no violence, too.
I will say, Micromachines needs more patience than some 5 year olds will have, since the controls and speed aren’t very forgiving until learned.

fair point micromachines is finicky to play so it’s good for teaching patience lol. although the mechanic will only give points if one player falls to far behind and goes off screen. when i was a kid my brothers and i would just explore the maps and played it more as we have to stay close enough to not lose. as an adult the game would just becomes chase your kid, probably best to not play it seriously

Oh, that’s good advice for playing with a kid. I forgot that I used this approach with my kid brother, back when Micromachines was new.
That’s true, lol. I recall telling my brother how he’s building character.
