I mean, I can basically advise the same list as I do for anybody.

  • Mindustry
  • OpenTTD
  • Luanti (especially MT-Game, I actually dislike MineClonia)
  • Endless Sky
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  • FreeCiv
  • YGO Omega & EDOPro

If you're open to buying and/or piracy, I can also suggest the following:

  • OpenRCT2 (get both RCT Deluxe and RCT2)
  • OpenXCom (get both X-COM: UFO Defense and Terror From the Deep)
  • CorsixTH (Theme Hospital)

If you're okay with more violent games, any Doom sourceport (like GZDoom) with FreeDoom phases 1 & 2. There's also OpenQuake, but I don't do 3D much.

they only have 1 computer, most of these are online only unfortunately (though not bad suggestions for 2 cpus)

Ah, if you're looking for the kids to play together, I have no idea. I don't do multiplayer
