Morrowind android port
no but on a real there's a lot of android ports of old games that aren't addictive, and all you have to do usually is click install on an apk file.
Here's one that requires a bit more setup than that if you're techy - https://www.reddit.com/r/TrackMania/s/QDNYzg499o
If that seems too tricky, I still highly recommend the original Trackmania Forever game if you've got ANY laptop. Super simple arcadey racing game - completely free - smooth as butter, lots of replayability, runs on anything, you can play against each other, has a track creator mode that's easy to use, customisable cars - and on, and on. I used to play it when I was about 8-9 years old, then recently when I was babysitting I taught my cousin to play it - he was only 6 years old and loved it. Absolutely brilliant - I used to spend hours playing against my dad back in the day.
my toddlers can barely play minecraft or supertux, they're used to those weird dress up games with ads and stuff. i can't imagine them play morrowind.
i know what i said about them playing minetest. they can't build properly there
have you tried rvgl? re-volt in general. cool game tbh
I remember playing revolt that as a kid (split screen with my brother) and being somewhat amazed at the graphics. It was fun, I would recommend that for a kid. Kids easily get drawn to racing games and it never feels that addictive.
also good clean fun, they're just rc toy cars, not considered violence
and genuinely fun tbh
Hehehe, I was only joking about morrowind. Yeah, idk if they're toddlers just put them in the garden.
i was blinded by my attempt at playing the game where i freed slaves and got stuck fighting a banshee ghost or whatever and couldnt play anymore. oh and my inlaw and sister just made them watch tiktoks on their phones and i can't get them off of the youtube shorts so i sadly can't get them in the garden much. they DO do stuff in the garden but i can't do shit about the slop
ngl trackmania's cool as fuck, but winlator requires the beefiest of hardware. i don't know if the op has like super strong android tablets or like me, degoogled android 5 e-waste that i tried very hard to revive.
rvgl is a goofy physics based racing game with toy cars, tar, bowling balls and firecrackers and has a native android port. check it out!
Yeah I think the best way to play Trackmania is just to get an old laptop/desktop. It's such low software requirements you could probably get one for £40
Revolt is also a classic yeah, I remember lots of RC car type games around that time. There was a great one the Lego technic racers webpage of all places.
