What you should not play with your little kids, despite it looking all sweet and stuff: Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard. I didn't intend to tell my children why there's loads of

bones streaming to a bone mill

and show them how we

throw a bomb at the semi-electronical evil super brain

in the end or how

the protagonist dies

if we're missing one certain thing.

Other than that, a good point and click, although I didn't like the voice-overs too much (neither German nor English).

Overcooked 2 is what's captivating my 5.75 and 3.5 year-olds these days.

Sometimes they really try (the older one that is), sometimes they just want to be mischiefs (jump in the water, throw the food in the trash can, start fires and put them out etc) which is also fun :D

We haven't even gotten to 2 yet, we're still on the original, but yes. My kids, plus friends if we have them over, running around the screen and screaming happily about everything. It's hard on the ears, but they love it.

Some what tangential to the conversation, I know it was touched on a little bit a few pages back, but I saw this article while browsing. While a bunch of our conversation here has been on younger kids and games that aren't necessarily online MP, they had some interesting insights especially concerning online play.

Worried about your kids' video gaming? Explore their online worlds yourself

I did chuckle at the part where they mentioned how online gaming behavior can translate into real world behavior. The sheer number of memes I hear little kids shouting while playing tag is hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂

Hi,
I just take out an old pc that I have for my 10 year old kid (the poor laptop that she had decide that surviving the pandemic was enough and the motherboard kaput).

The thing is that after installing AntiX (It had linux mint 13) and I need a 386 distro I find that there is a lot of games on this thread that will not run....

For now I have
- Fceux
- Scummvm
- Dosbox (civilization)

My next step is running some casual games with wine (Burger shop and Plant vs Zombies)

Any suggestion on really low resources games ?

A Short Hike maybe?
The Putt-Putt adventures, if she's not feeling too old for that?

Given that you've listed FCEUX, I would also suggest adding Snes9x as well if it's available, since the SNES also had a lot of superb games which should run just fine on the hardware that you're working with.

It's true but is only one core, it run better on 386. Apart that I only have 4gb of RAM, so no real advantage.
