Ask HN: How do you run old games for kids?
I’m thinking bacon to childhood and the DOS games of old. Math blaster, Treasure Mountain, even Mario teaches typing. How do you all run these for your kids, and are there modern equivalents?
- ZunarJ5 3y agoA lot of these retro games are hosted online, and can be found with a quick Google. Here's Mario Teaches Typing: https://playclassic.games/games/educational-dos-games-online/play-mario-teaches-typing-online/play/ https://playclassic.games/games/educational-dos-games-online...

That being said, there are a ton of modern options now and it depends on age range and topics. You have generations of games to pick from at this point.
