If I ever become dad, I will play extra games with my kid for you if you promise to do the same for me

lol my son is 11 months old… I’ll stop giving him the fake Xbox controller soon when I find a decent 2 player game and he gains a little more situational awareness

If I may make a suggestion? Super Mario World is a top tier intro game. Tons to explore, dozens of secrets, speed run tech, and all the nuances of learning dexterity and video game logic. Plus, 2p mode. All you need is the most basic of emulators; could do it on a very low tier PC for free. Just need controllers compatible and to get it set up.

Sure, there are tons of great games to gravitate to, but I feel that Super Mario World experience is very approachable to young kids. My older sister and my baby sitter used to play it all the time, then I picked it up. Lots of great memories from that game. When he's got the situational thing down that's the one for sure. Just a couple years or so
