Looking for insight - Games on a school managed Chromebook

So the situation is this: I am a junior high ELA teacher and I want to bring some videogames into the classroom. What I have to work with are the students Chromebooks. At first glance, I figured I’d throw some short, playable without install games on some flash drives and we could play through whatever game it is, and then...

Mini_Moonpie,

itch.io has regular browser games here: itch.io/games/platform-web

itch.io also has PICO-8 games that can be played in the browser here: itch.io/games/tag-pico-8

Many of the top PICO-8 games are de-makes of popular titles, so that might help. Here’s a list for de-makes: github.com/pixelbath/pico8demakes.

Celeste seems like your best option, but there are a handful of games with the “Narrative” tag here: itch.io/games/tag-narrative/tag-pico-8

Mini_Moonpie,

Does Wii U with its entire eShop count as a retro console? Because, despite being unpopular, it had a lot of games from a lot of past Nintendo consoles.

Mini_Moonpie,

My understanding is that GoG does some work to make sure that old games they sell will work on new PCs. I have at least one game that is bugged on Steam, but works fine from GoG.

Mini_Moonpie,

You don’t need to offer solutions when complaining about something not working or feeling right, jfc.

In fact, most developers kinda hate when you offer suggestions, because they don’t like armchair developers.

Mini_Moonpie,

You know, a cute blouse with a kicky pair of trousers. An outfit.

Mini_Moonpie,

My theory is that they’re not actually trying to make games. They are trying to make money printers.

Mini_Moonpie,

That was definitely the impression that I got from the reviews and it’s a shame.

Mini_Moonpie,

You can donate directly to Godot or FNA if you want to show support and don’t think that you’d enjoy Terraria. Personally, I love Terraria and have bought it for pretty much every system I own and everyone I know. I got interested in it after watching TotalBiscuit and Jesse Cox play it. (I can’t believe that was 12 years ago!)
