1x81: The Bad Voltage Holiday Gift Guide 2016

Gave one to my daughter (small laptop running FreeDOS) when she was younger and she LOVED it. Still does. Games like Mixed up Mother Goose (an old point and click adventure game) she played for hours on end.

Plus it helped her learn to read. And gave her an understanding of computing history. And let her better understand the culture and time of her parents.

I like this idea. Our eldest has one of my old (~2004) laptops running Lubuntu, GCompris, Tux Paint and a few other things.

But it’s probably fair to say the stable of high-quality Linux children’s games is… limited. Sticking some old DOS games on would be great.

@bryanlunduke - any further recommendations?
