Sadly, I'm just waking up to the reality that kids these days don't enjoy retro games as much as I do. This could have to do with my son being 6, and lacking the dexterity to play most of my old games, but if you've seen your kids eyes glaze over 5 seconds into something like "Super Mario Land", you know what I'm talking about. My question is, for those with kids or young siblings/cousins, what retro games do they tend to like to play? |

To be fair, Super Mario Land is hard for even myself to even get into. Maybe if I pop it into the Gameboy Player it'd be different, but on the Gameboy it's kind of rough lol. I'd say Ducktales on NES would be a good candidate for kids to appreciate. It's not overly brutal, but not easy either. |

Today's children can't use their imagination. Mostly, they think that, if the game has no realistic graphics it's not worth to play. Sad but true... |

I teach a computer class for the disabled. While they aren't kids, they have a lot of the same behavior and mentality as kids. I brought in some ROMS for them to play after computer lessons for free time. I seem to find them playing a lot of the same ones we liked as kids: Mario games, Sonic games, Legend of Zelda, and surprisingly enough Rocket Knight Adventures is a popular one (I guess it's not that surprising, it's a great game, it just didn't get the attention back in the day). After Burner II had a short run of popularity, too. |

My cousin loved playing contra at our house. He had quite a bit of patience with the difficulty. I think contra fits the theme younger kids are used to with games.... War and guns |
