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.
City Connection, Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle. While neither are co-op my mom and took turns playing crazy castle on the nes when I was a kid and we beat it. Core memory right there.
I think Tetris or Doctor Mario had 2 player modes but I’m not sure.
Does Sonic Spinball on the Genesis have multiplayer?
Not that I recall re: Spinball, but hot damn i loved that game
Technically yes, but it’s old arcade style “pass the controller, it is player 2’s turn” - so not really.
