My little lad will be getting the opportunity to experience games a few years from now and I'm preparing his experience early. I plan on Emulating, sure, but boxart, pamphlets and other supplementary material will be available for him to enjoy .(printed out and re-created) Which games should I get for him and what supplementary material should I recreate?

For a child I'd go with simple NES games like Super Mario Bros, Kirby and the like. Those are the perfect "babby's first game" titles because they are easy to get into, the starting difficulty is OK, and the games don't just hand out victory, so will have something to chew on for quite a while. They also have nice box arts and manuals with drawings, those were meant to stimulate the player's imagination because of the limited tech. Leaving things open to the imagination is a lost art.

> I plan on Emulating

Make sure you don't just slap five hundred ROMs on a machine and call it a day. When a child has too much choice it gets distracted, bored and just plain frustrated. I remember when my little brother had too many toys he just did not value them and was acting like a spoiled brat. So our dad took a bunch of the toys away into the basement. With less choice he could focus more on the toys he had, and then dad would from time to time bring an individual toy back from the basement and my brother would act as if it was a new toy and be really happy about it.

Set up a coin-op MAME cab with a bunch of old school classics. Give him a number of tokens per day and introduce newer games over time. Give him two tokens for every game/loop clear to encourage getting gud.

I'm getting a god damned brain aneurysm reading the empirical conversion table. What the fuck was wrong with people back then?

I'd say start him off with a classic or a funny one like Earthworm Jim. If you want him to get into it, then I'd suggest a big box PC release of a cult classic, your choice. I grew up in pirate heaven, original physical copies were hard to come by and I've only held a big box release of a couple of games this year.

Arcade games

Start with a simple puzzle game like Super Locomotive or Puyo Puyo, then up the difficulty as they git gud.

Colorful, low-poly 3D games from the PS1 and N64 era are really appealing for children. At-least they were for me growing-up. Might be because I felt like they resembled toys or cartoons in a way, moreso than a lot of game released now do (though I'm sure there could be exceptions like say- A Hat in Time).

growing up, i had a blast playing the old shareware collection cd's during the 90's. Micro Man, Castle of the Winds, Blast Doors are the only ones i really remember but there was so much variety on the discs we had back then. Ran the demo discs a lot as well, and spent hours making custom AoEII maps for my friend to play. I constantly crashed the computer playing Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games lmao

This. 5th generation games are perfect for children. Unlike shitty bland games today, PS1/N64 games really stimulate children's sense of wonder.

When I will be a father, I will definitely do this.

>>16629325

As >>16629368 suggested you could start with NES games, as they have simple control schemes, and don't overload him with a hundred NES games. You might want to start with more action games like Mario or Contra, rather than turn based games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, which involve a lot of reading as well. Though it is possible for a small child to play more complex games, when I was four, I managed to play Age of Empires 1 on the computer, after m father told me how to play. I was a shit player though.

Another thing you could do, and something plan to do, is that if you want your child to easily learn a second language, is to only give him cartoons and movies dubbed in that language. So if you are an Eastern European and want him to know English, only give him cartoons dubbed in English even anime if your really need to, and nothing else. If you are American, then you could use German or French dubbed, to have him know a second language, and please don't use this as a way for him to learn Japanese. I also plan on making a sort of streamming box connected to the TV, that will stream a series or cartoons, that I chose, even when the TV is not on, so if he wants to watch a cartoon, then he has to watch it at that hour, so he will have to book his time, and understand that not everything happens when he wants it to happen, unlike the Netflix generation.After a few months or an year, I will replace a show or two, add a new season and so on. I even plan to add commercials and all sorts of stuff, basically I will create my own cartoon network, and he won't even know.

Lastly you should read to him at least every night, start with Grimm Brothers, 1001 nights, Aesop Fables(pic related) and so on.

Hope you will be an outstanding father, and good luck, you will need it.

Raise him in a small town with no internet, show him the world of agriculture and farming, give him homeschooling, and keep him away from niggers and jews.

Give him a better future, Anon.

I do have to wonder how many kids that have grown up with seventh (and now eighth) gen have been willing to delve into fifth gen or earlier. Just saying, since depending on who they hang out with, peer pressure to only play the latest and "greatest" is apt to be a thing, and having different "cut off" points for how far they might be willing to put up with the graphics anyhow. Obviously less of an issue if one starts them within an older generation of games, but if they're used to higher res already, that can pose a problem.

Also the whole desire to be seen as more mature than they are, and thus wanting more to play games outside what's rated for their age group.

That isn't quite a problem until you're about 7 or 8 though. Before then anything goes. Those are games I played from when I was 4 til I was like 9. That said, I also enjoyed watching my dad play Soul Reaver, Final Fantasy VII VIII and IX, Parasite Eve, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Turok, Star Wars Shadows of the Empire, MDK, Command & Conquer, and Gran Turismo. Might be more engaging to have them watch you play first.

Fair enough, but then that brings up the question of how to prevent peer pressure induced taste shitting once they reach that point, at least without coming off as out of touch or overbearing.

Nigger, the reason it even came to my mind was the Fallout 2 manual had some interesting world-building shit in it. I've looked over the Link's Awakening manual a lot as a kid as well. World-building and supplementary material really sparks the imagination, I'm sorry you're too nigger-tier retarded to marry and have a kid of your own.

Kids prefer games where they can roam around in peace, doing shit with no reprisal. You are deadly wrong, if you think he's interested in gitting gud with arcade classics.

In essence, what you are doing is the same as middleclass parents forcing extraschool activities on their kids to enrich them. But while they at least will be learning some marginally useful skill like sports or piano, you will be pavlov'ing a poor kid into irrelevant bullshit. Let's call this bazinga parenting.
