The important thing is that they are not "addictive" or have (a lot of) ads. I can recommend GCompris, SuperTuxKart and TowerJumper.

Yeah, if I had kids, I'd give them emulated Gameboy games and lock the internet to avoid them getting ads or microtransactions or anything like that.

Kids would still enjoy those Mario, Pokémon, and Mega Man games, right?

Also, they'd be free and you could probably add hundreds.

At that point it's just better to invest on one of those dedicated emulator consoles... They're not terribly expensive and they're natively offline. Plus, clicky buttons, which I think really enhances the experience.
