Free kids games
« on: January 12, 2011, 04:29:55 PM »
Just set up my old pc for my kids. They are 4 & 5. I want to download some free games for their age group off the net on my pc and then install them on theirs. Their pc will not be hooked up to the internet. So, does anyone know of any free games for kids I can download & install without needing an internet connection after installing? I googled "free kids games" but all I find are 30 minute trials and then you have to buy them. I'm just looking for some easy stuff that kids their age might enjoy. Any of you with youngsters have any recommendations?

Dang

I had some age appropriate edutainment games until about six months ago.  Sorry Ranger but I'll keep my eyes open.

There are ways to download flash games from the net and make them work offline though.

I dunno, but when I was 5, I played the heck out of Duke Nukem. The Hot dog game is downloadable I think and is also somewhat educational. I'll check some more out, though.

I think the old Sims games are free now (Sim city, Sim rainforest, other random sim things).

Amazon has some free downloadable games - arcade stuff, but safe and easy to pass the time with.

Also, consider some used game sites - like CDromUSa.com. Although not free, you can get some GREAT buys for older games. I picked up Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin for $8.50 including shipping, and I bet there are some compilations that would get you a huge library for minimal cost.

Ranger,

I have a copy of The Sims 2 if you fancy it. I don't play it anymore so if you're interested PM me.

Best of luck mate

I wished i remembered where i got it from but I downloaded a remake that was identical to the original donkey kong. It had the original graphics and levels..

I played the heck out of it for about 2 weeks lol. But i'm 19 so IdK if it would be playable for kids that age

Just some things I have found for my kids at various places. Check out Abandonware and Freeware. They have a lot of the older DOS games and many of the old Atari, Intellivision and Commedore console games for PC. Remember the old Arcade game consoles for use on your TV from back in the 80's? Lots of those can be had and they are pretty appropriate for kids that young.

Later,

Get them an iPad, plenty of free games for young kids there. My daughter loves all the different insect games there.

Even the paid versions are cheap like 1-3 dollars each.
