      Hi gamers,

      Sure this post is not at the good location but don't know where to write my question.
      I'm looking for a retro game, for my recalbox suitable for a small child 5/6 yo.
      My oldest (8Yo) plays Zelda, Mario, Kirby without problem but the youngest is not really fast enough to play those games, except Mario (thanks quicksave!)

      Do you have any idea (he can't read 😉 )?
      Platform :
      Shoot'em up :
      Other :

      Thanks all

              Mr. Nutz or Mickey Mania are some great platform games for that age. You can find them as SNES rom.

                        My 7 year old niece use to play Pac-Man, dig dug, Bubble Bobble, Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, etc. These are the most favorite games played by her ever since my sister started buying the games from instant-gaming along with CD keys, that too in the best deal price. You can also find a variety of Retro games on sites like Instant-gaming, Cd keys etc..
