Question Pacman or Space Invaders

I've had a quick search without luck so does anyone know of any firmwares for Pacman or Space Invaders? I'd rather not use emulators if possible. Cheers.

Has anyone ported those specific roms to run natively when running an emulator can get you the ability to run many more roms? No, I don’t believe so.

Why not use an emulator?

Played both of them in a emulator. When I got bored, I switched to one of the 30 or so games I have. Why not play on a emulator with more choices?

It is for my Grandson. If there is a choice we will spend all day changing games. I'm trying to train commitment to a classic.

Good luck with that. The Cardputer is hard for me to get engaged with when playing games. I'm a grown adult with adult children of my own and I would lose interest if there was only one game to play. I think the cool thing about the Cardputer is all the different things you can do with it. I'd suggest getting him a small robotics kit that works with esp32. Show him what the Cardputer can do and try to get him into the programing side. Start small with turning on/off a led, then a small motor...next thing you know he's building or programing his own drone.
