Best games for kids... very young kids.
« on: February 28, 2014, 12:19:14 AM »
I'm at my wit'wit's end... my 3 year old boys love playing turbografx, but the US library lacks any multiplayer games simple enough for them to play without getting overly frustrated. Bonk 3 and Battle Royale are the closest we can come to having fun.

I'm not very well versed in the JP side of things. Does anybody know of some PCE titles that are 2+ player and super easy? I'd love to find something they can get their feet wet with and get better with the controller before attempting anything too complex. I thought bonk would be easy enough, but the number of wall-jumps and such keep them from getting past stage1-2, and they perpetually fight over the big bonk candy (even though it perpetually respawns!)

all input is welcome. Thanks!

Perhaps they'd enjoy something like Panic Bomberman, Puyo Puyo, or Motteke Tamago.  They're not particularly easy against the cpu, but against just each other they'd be on an even footing.

Or how 'bout a shewty?  Let 'em try 1943 with it's in place, infinite continues.

B-man is a no brainer. Maybe Buster Bros.?

Kids are smarter than you think when it comes to games...I'm surprised at cons when I see con-goers that bring their 3-5 year old kids that hold their own.

You could also get a flash cart, put some cheat-enabled roms on there and have them go at it.  Any of the shooters for instance.

Pac-Land? One player though. But bright colors :) Have to break it out as I can't remember if it was easy or not.

My lil loved playing the Crush games when he was 3ish. Super simple controls. And in Devil's Crush, he quickly figured out that if he lost 2 the first 2 balls quickly, the third ball would end up in the top screen with the drain area blocked off so he could play it for awhile.

Street Fighter 2 on easiest mode. They can mash buttons and win and of course it looks cool.

The Doreamon platformer, maybe? I bought it from Bernie and thought it was pretty damn kiddie-friendly (maybe I'm wrong...but I don't remember any tricky platforming).

It's the CD version I played most recently.

Splatterhouse? Not kid friendly, but it sure is easy. Also a button masher :D

Bomberman series' multiplayer is awesome. I would recommend 93 campaign over 94 campaign, for the sole reason that the final boss is too tough (if you fail, you have to restart the entire level).

I don't know how good Bomberman 90 is, but from what I've played, it seems alright for a kid.
