Originally released in April 2021 – but brought back to life in October 2023 right here at Arcade Punks, with fresh usenet upload and Rapidgator Eternal links – load up that Pi3b now for the kids!!

RickDangerous is back, with his daughter in tow! , Blue Unicorn (daughter) is a massive fan of retro gaming just like her dad, and his latest KIDS PI 3 IMAGE, is a delight for all ages, but totally focused on the younger retro gaming generation (lets call them super stars!). The theme you see, Gestalt King, was created by DZ for his “King” series and finishes off the awesome image.

MESSAGE FROM RICKDANGEROUS (AND BLUE UNICORN!)

A small collection of games for younger children. Compiled with my daughter and sharing with the retro community. More games will be added to a future pi4 kids build.

I found the best thing for younger kids is having a small collection of games otherwise they find it hard to choose what to play and don’t bother.

Important Notes

Notice 1

I recommended parents of this build disable launch menu

this can easily be done by going to options – run command – launch menu – disable

( I just forgot to change the default enable to disable)

Just to stop kids accidentally pressing buttons and changing emulator settings!

Notice 2

Moderate Overclock is applied so use and your own risk. It is not a high overclock and just enough to get a slight performance increase.

Notice 3

Why so little n64 games?

Because n64 runs poorly on the pi, I did not want to include at all but know kids love mario kart!

N64 defaults to analog stick without an easy change to dpad! This is the default retropie behaviour with n64.

Please enjoy the build it was put together with my daughter not many systems and all gamepad friendly just to get people started!

Sharing is caring!

happy gaming all!

RickD, ChloeBU
