Nothing. Even 2011 games look outdated now. Kids won't be interested in retro, if they have more technically advanced games. Even 2007 should be retro to them now.

[Anonymous No.7992269]

Kids don't like playing with their parents toys. They have no emotional bond to Daytona USA, Ghouls n' Ghosts, Star Wars or any of that crap. If by any chance your kid says he enjoys playing with your games he is lying, he's just looking from approval from an authority figure, also he will think you are an embarrassing manchild when he hits puberty.

That's just less expensive, zoomer version of Lego, of course they do.

They also play mobile games which are essentialy arcade games of the past (simple yet engaging gameplay + donating = inserting play coins). Mobile games are all flashy, bright and constantly stimulate you to play further. Classic arcades are old, dull and you can't use your dad's credit card in it.

They get to the 2nd level and lose all their lives which brings them back to the start, at the point they don't want to play that game again. The physics in mario are pretty slippery for someone not used to it.

>>7992156
I saw one playing atic attack on rare replay and having fun. So much for system elitism.

I would guess they would probably have more fun in food fight on atari 7800 then on something like Donkey Kong Country and whatever makes the top system lists.

You can't impress them with many layers or scrolling and lots of colours because all mobile games have that stuff.

I think they might like

asteroids
sim city but how long until they complain, "what do I even do"
tempest
millipede
the incredible machine
rts like command and conquer
arkanoid

I think they don't like games where you have to really work to get to the fun bits. Retro games worked on the figure out how to get past the hard bit and then see the next real cool thing.
I think stuff like megaman and ghouls'n'ghosts would really put them off, it like when our parents tried to play games.
You give them a mario game and their reaction is I can play this on mobile.

I would say everything before analog sticks on a controller became standard, so everything before the 6th generation. Its rough watching them try to walk/drive in a straight line in a 3D game with only a D-pad.

My nephews got a SNES Mini for Christmas a few years back and holy shit

>>7992183
This

The very concept of having to hold down the jump button for a full jump threw them off, they thought the controller was broken and asked me to help cause tapping the jump button couldnt make mario jump at full height

The worst was watching them try and play Super Metroid. When they had gotten to pic related, they had trouble understanding that they had dodge the bosses attacks. They tried to just tank the damage while holding still, I suggested to try moving around and jumping. So they stood still again and occasionally jumped

The older the game the more trouble they have. If it lacks analog sticks, have to hold down the jump button, lacking a button that is dedicated to dodging or anything lacking a detailed tutorial.

The worst part is they never try and press all the buttons to figure out what button does what.

Maybe kids have no interest no interest in retro games because times have changed and so have modern tastes. We like retro games because we're from that time period. Kids these days will feel the same about the games they grow up with. 20 years from now zoomer kids will have autistic screech fits when their kids say games like Minecraft were shitty. Just as kids that grew up with SNES and N64 don't really give a fuck about the Commodore 64 or Intelivision.

Just let them grow up in their time with their own tastes that are different from ours. We had our time, and it was glorious, but the harder you try to hold on to the past z the longer it hurts. The passage of time never stops, It's a beautiful terrifying thing.

They are clearly inspired by original games. Some even going as far as to replicate punishing difficulty and super basic graphics. You are arguing that every game is on the same level on the scale of quality, which wasn't even true back when they were new. Something like Berzerk is going to still be perfectly enjoyable to play now a days as compared to some garbage like Sneak N Peak. Or Asteroids. Or Pac-Man. Or Tetris.

Also, children are not born with the awareness of whats "trending". A 3 year old would have the same experience learning to play a game as one 30 years ago

My niece loves the Genesis sonic games. I got her a genesis mini recently and she loves playing Sonic and a lot of other sega games. Also helps that Sonic had a movie recently, as cringe and gay as it looks to me she's of course the target demographic and she loves it. If more old franchises get media revivals it'll really help to expand the new kids' appreciation of the games. After all, when I was growing up, games felt like such a large universe, with so many cartoons based around video games, comic books, a few movie adaptations, and so on; it all made the characters feel bigger than just a sprite in a video game, and as kids we were always attached not just to the game itself but everything around and about the game.

Just about any given game that a child can play by double-clicking on a shortcut/exe icon to run it - and one that can be bought.
The biggest hurdle people have with vr games is to make them run, followed by inability to source it in the first place, because it's not in any of the online stores. Even if it can be legally accessed for free after 5 second of googling, if it's not in store, it might as well not exist.

Mike Tyson's punch out is a game that I think will never age. The art style is perfectly suited for the NES hardware and managed to give all the characters personality. The gameplay is easy to understand and always fun.

Retro games often have little to no load times, simpler graphics that aren't as overstimulating, and very little voice acting to listen to.

ADHD kids actually seek out over-stimulation and can't sit still or pay attention when there's too little stimulation because it makes them feel bored and anxious. They want lots of things to happen at once, lots of scenery changes in quick succession, not to linger on one thing for too long, etc.

Just to follow up with a specific example, I have a sibling with ADHD and one thing she was prescribed by her psychiatrist was a pair of little hearing aid-looking devices to put in her ears and all they did was just pump white noise into her ears. They actually helped her pay attention and remain attentive and engaged in conversations where she would normally just drift off and lose focus. People with ADHD need lots of inputs to prevent their minds from bouncing around.

I have ADHD and I despise modern games. There's too much talking (voice acting) and they take too long to beat. I would much rather beat an old rpg that takes 20 hours to beat and each cutscene has 5-10 minutes of dialogue. Games now feel the need to be 100+ hours long and 20-30 minutes long cutscenes that you can't speed read you have to fucking listen to it. It's also irritating that games now need to load everything when a lot of games it was near instant to enter another area. ADHD people do crave stimulation but overstimulation can also be too much and just end up pissing them off.

Part of me wonders if it's more due to Sonic's meme-ness that makes him popular with kids. I mean you've got stuff like Sanic and AoStH Robotnik appearing in stupid YouTube videos, so kids already recognize the characters even if they haven't played the games. I went to see the movie with my brother's kids and there were actually a lot more kids there than I had expected. And they even seemed to know the characters too.

I have to admit that I'm a classicfag, so I can't imagine that kids were all excited for it due to Sonic Forces. All I can guess is that they know Sonic from the memes.

Any pinball or good arcade light gun/racing games. Ps4 controller ain't matching any of those.

to be fair this is what op is saying. What retro games are good enough that they stand on their own merrits in current year.

Platformers from the 4th gen are still fun to play for kids.

what d'you mean by redundant? It's modern games that are bloated with pointless shit.

>The very concept of having to hold down the jump button for a full jump threw them off
Even modern games do this, so what the fuck is wrong with them? What platforming games are they playing where tapping jump always gives you a single height with no variation?

Not a platformer, but containing platforming elements, there's Castlevania or the NES. But I do agree it's kind of weird.

Maybe they're just inexperienced with platform games? How old are they? Platformers have been out of fashion for years.

I don't even think it's so much that games have gotten better, as it is culture changes. If you grew up playing hard as fuck NES games, SNES games seem easy as hell but with more polish. The game design tends to reflect the types of skills gamers of the period have.

Aside from video games, I didn't really like things being made around the time when I was growing up. Most of the stuff I like was made before I was born and my favourite authors are from the late 19th, early 20th century.

I'm just trying to think of what modern games kids play that would have such a function. Even Minecraft, Fortnite, COD, Genshin Impact, or other free games kids play all have variable jumps based on how long you hold the jump button.

who cares you fucking pedophile?

[Anonymous No.8004562]

In my experience kids like retro games and think they are cool when you introduce them to it. A friend of my wife has kids who are into Fortnite and all that. I pulled out a genesis and started playing with her kids and they were having a blast. I think the reason kids might not have an interest in retro games is because they don't have access to it really.

My little brother also prefers playing older Tekken games with me compared to Tekken 7.

He's right though GBC has the most underwhelming library of any Nintendo handheld

[Anonymous No.8004717]

GBC was a lame upgrade that came like 2 years before the GBA. I wanted a GBC when it came out because it seemed cool to have color games, but once the GBA came around I was so glad I missed GBC because if I'd gotten a GBC I wouldn't have gotten a GBA and that would have been way worse.

>if I'd gotten a GBC I wouldn't have gotten a GBA and that would have been way worse.
That's basically what happened to me. I got a GBC for Christmas in 1999, so when the GBA came out I knew there would be no point in asking for one since I had just gotten a new Game Boy. So I wound up just skipping the GBA and didn't get a new handheld until the DS.

There's this delusion among nintendo fans that the game boy was a runaway success and not an incidental one. It tripped into its sales numbers and even the fans admit they have to combine the sales numbers of several platforms to successfully pitch the game boy as this massive hit they believe it to be - flat out denying the existence of generational upgrades. The truth is nobody really cares about the console enough to see if there's a good library there. All signs indicate its bloated with shovelware and good games are few and far between or rightfully forgotten as low effort spinoff cash-ins.
