What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? (europe.pub)

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.

Pacman! I am not entirely sure, but I think it was an Atari 2600 where I really enjoyed this on at a similar age

The 2600 version is considered extremely bad. (It's not that bad but it's also not arcade-accurate)

There's a SNES version of Ms. Pac-Man which is extremely good, though.

I have not played it since the beginning oft the 90s, so... perhaps it was Mord enjoyable if you had no alternatives 😉

This is true! If you don't have a frame of reference for what is "good" (or what everyone else considers "good") then who the heck cares, play what you want
