I haven’t personally tried using the tools in this video, but they may be an easier way to set up virtual machines for specific older hardware/ windows machines for gaming.

I’ve gone through this song and dance before with my old games and the most success I’ve had is with wine on Linux. It’s not foolproof unfortunately, and takes a bit of tinkering. It likely won’t work for every game either. You’ll probably want to find tutorials for each specific game you’re trying to run. Another option I’ve had some success with is running a windows xp VM. But again this isn’t foolproof and requires some technical literacy

I tried to get some JumpStart games to run with DOSBOX a few years ago on Windows 7. Iirc I managed to install but not run the game.

I recently tried a bit to try and get another 16bit game run on Arch Linux with WINE in win98 or 95 mode but that still didn’t pan out.

Honestly it’s probably doable in some way without one but next time I try I’ll probably use a VM (Virtual Machine).

t3rmit3, do gaming w The Game Awards 2023 Discussion Thread

I really dislike that it’s game news outlets that get the vote, because they’re just plain gonna have a different outlook on games than people who don’t have to engage with ones they both do and don’t like as a job, and it really shows in the kind of games that get picked (shorter main storylines, narrative-driven), and the ones that don’t (sandboxes, open-world games, strategy, simulation games, etc).

And that’s only even when it’s not a selection of the 5 most well-known games, since just like the Academy Awards, not all of them have even played all the games they’re voting on.

chloyster,

Well typically the outlet convenes with a bunch of people who have played a wide variety of games, so I feel they have a pretty good pool of minds to pull from.

Also I don’t think it’s a bad system compared to having it be all user voted. Golden joysticks already exist for 100% public vote, and that can be easily influenced by bots and the like. Also half of the games nominated for game of the year this year were open world games that were not short. I mean I don’t think many expected in January a crpg would win in a year a Zelda game came out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Try Handshakes. It’s 100% free. store.steampowered.com/app/2171690/Handshakes/

Officially it has no coop mode but because the game just accepts input from all input devices, one person can control the right hand and the other the left hand. No time limit, infinite retries. It’s a short game but you that’s really not a problem with a price tag of free.

I would choose a character and concentrate on learning him. There are builds online you can use to not get over whelmed at first by the shop.

I play an other MOBA but there is probably a lane that has two players for most of the match, you should concentrate on playing one of those two types of characters so you and your son can maximise play time together, most likely the tank would be the better choice (more forgiving, easier to learn, support character so your son gets to be the hero).

Finally finishing Celeste, after not playing it for a couple of years

Lately I've been playing Plants vs Zombies, and I was planning on playing Halo Infinite as soon as I can get the campaign to stop crashing when it first loads

GFGJewbacca,

Celeste is a wonderfully brutal game. I love the characters and the whole idea behind, “conquer a hard thing just to say I did it.” To be fair, that is what it feels like when climbing mountains or other large rock structures

Plants vs Zombies is the best tower defense game out there. Y’all can fight me on that.

Started Terra Nil today and it’s a lot of fun! I suck at strategy games so even the easy mode made me frustrated lol, but it’s so beautiful and clearing every stage is totally worth it.

Since some have already been mentioned

Death Squared - nice puzzle game

Mario Party

Mario deluxe u

Plate up! - overcooked on crack.

Baldurs gate 3 on ez mode

ABCDE,

Death Squared is really nice. I may have a spare key somewhere

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a must have imo. Me and my girl play it almost on the daily. Great competitive experience.

Glemek,

I think this is gonna have the same problem as mario kart, so I probably need to wait until they have some more game experience. Last year when I had my last smash phase they enjoyed the music being on in the background though.

If you had to make a case for purchase and install any game, I would suggest This War of Mine.

For the emulation route, you could try Eclipse.

Since we’re talking about your job here, only use games that are public domain or that you’ve gotten permission for use in a school setting (don’t bother trying with any of the big publishers). No abandonware or anything like that. There are some homebrew games out there that may work, but I don’t know how many of them have the kind of story you’re looking for.

In terms of coop games with cats in them: Aqua Kitty is an option. More of an underwater action game, could be too fast paced.

If you ever return to Overcooked, some versions of the game have a Practice Mode you can go into. You can’t progress levels with this, but you can serve out dishes at your own pace, which feels nicer.

An old top-down shooter I enjoy is Assault Android Cactus. Players can revive themselves if they die, the only cost being that dying makes it hard to keep up a certain rate of kills needed to clear the level without the Battery draining out.

At a long stretch, there are visual novels like Pizza Game that are much more fun with your own voice acting applied, largely due to the horrendous stupidity of the whole cast.

Wario Ware games on Switch, Nidhogg also.

BodePlotHole,

NIDHOGG!!!

Glemek,

I dunno that nidhogg would be a good game for us together, but it looks up my alley to play solo sometime.

Thanks!

ABCDE,

It’s super silly fun, and shouldn’t be so expensive. I have it on PC and it’s playable on pretty much everything.
