any old games to suggest?
-
There are some cool open source games out there like this city builder one. Probably not beginner friendly though, but could be enough to spark curiosity. Or if you really want to go old school, there are DOS games like Nibbles. The QBasic source has been floating around the Interwebs for a while now.

I try to introduce some old computer games to my nephew, so he can pick up some computer programming concepts. I only remember some games like Alien invasion, Tetris, Card games...

There are always the old standbys - Go, Chess, Checkers (or Draughts), Backgammon, Reversi, ... All of these may be found on the internet, including source code.

This is another site I have used from time to time. BrowserGames[^] It is in german, but I think you might get a good enough translation to know about what a game is using your favourite online translator. Titles I liked as a kid: Rainbow island, double bobble, snow brothers, bobble shooter, ...
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In my teens I started with some text-based adventures. Concepts such as parsing and mapping, adapting text output to include random (but sensible) variations etc. An early graphic one I started on was an air-traffic control simulator. Never finished it but found one a few years ago in Javascript. It was buggy and lacked some usability so I extended it. Air traffic control 'simulator'[^]

Well, at least the author didn't spend all that time on crystal meth. :laugh:

for four players, do they any special devices to play?

ha.. nope, but the networking version of the game is painfully slow at the start of the game (because the start of the game is mostly waiting for research/build to complete, but now it's quite slow down, because each turn goes stop and wait for all player to press next..)

Defender was always my favourite. Played it way too much at college (and that really does date me!).

Going to break the mould here. Can I suggest check out some old gameboy games… the graphics are simple and the programming is often also not too complex. I then recommend this playlist: [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeEj4c2zF7PaFv5MPYhNAkBGrkx4iPGJo\](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeEj4c2zF7PaFv5MPYhNAkBGrkx4iPGJo) I’m not sponsored here, I did this playlist myself and made a couple of gameboy games. Since the graphics are simple you can be making games in a matter of hours. Yes it is C language, but the engine/libraries take fair of most of the heavy lifting.

In the early 90's there were a bunch of text-based MORG's played on dial-up. There were also a lot of text-based stand-alone games. I played Moria (as in the Mines of Moria from Lord of the Rings). You were a capital "H". All the easy monsters were lower case and the hard ones were upper case. Add a few keyboard commands for attack, move, and portal to the town to haggle for goods. Very simple but very addictive.

Yes, and the new XYZ_OMG_123 token, that was copy/pasted by a 13 year old, will be the new official US Dollar standard.
