Putt Putt Goes To The Zoo and Putt Putt Travels Through Time are some of the best ones with hand drawn animation. Putt Putt Goes To The Moon is great too, and the DOS graphics make it one of the most endearing ones, not to mention Putt Putt's voice in that one. You can tell the voice actor was still very young and the sound quality isn't the best, both of which only add to the charm. I would say it's nostalgia, but I'm immune, so have fun, and not just as a kid. As I said: childhood you never had. Doesn't mean you can't still have it. It's an older series, hence the DOS statement, but the entire collection can be found pre-emulated on Steam. Not for free, but I'd say take a look. Freddy Fish is great too. And Pyjama Sam There's No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside is an absolute classic. Some of them are even mildly educational, although not all that much, and more so depending on whether your kids enjoy the aspects that are. They mostly teach kids how to be polite - and math, if they choose to take a few math lessons from a starfish in one of my fave Freddy Fish games. Nowadays I can even do the advanced ones with relative ease, but then again, I am 27, so obviously I'm the smartest fish in school. Sorry, that was way too wordy. I can't edit posts in some places for some reason. Maybe they changed the requirements for the feature to be used recently and it hadn't been applied to the entire forum yet. In any event: a lot of the Humongous Entertainment games are very much worth it for kids and kids at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Switch is perfect for kids. I share a lot of switch specific games in News section. Do check out every now and then some of those if you want. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 There are also games like Pokemon, Sonic party games, Spongebob - the possibilities are endless. Steam is a great place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I really hate Minecraft but it's actually a very good one for kids if I should be able to remove my bias from it. Racing games are good ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Racing games like asphalt, NFS, Motor GP, soccer games like EA FIFA, Konami PES etc, are simply okay for kids. Since they have no age restriction cos they got no adult contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the ones that came with age restrictions, I believe that the parents will take care of it not being allowed for kids to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ermmm...Most parents aren't that responsible and some aren't so knowledgeable about the rating system in terms of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they will guide their words never to get entangled with such kind of gaming since its not for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure - most parents are naive about gaming and ratings so they can be easily fooled into buying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that I tend to agree with and in as much as it's not supposed to be like that, but it's what's obtainable in most families.

Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The kids are the ones playing more of the FPS action RPGs than adults. When I was a kid I played more of the mission games like, Assassins Creed, GTAs, COD, God of war than i am playing now as an adult gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I am not good in games recommendations especially for children. If you're simply looking for games underage of 13, then you can simply look out for some pokémon games, Indies, and soccer series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
