I am sorry to raise this issue — video games help me with my depression. Unfortunately many modern games are very unkosher.
Are games such as minesweeper and Spider Solitaire kosher?
Yeah there’s nothing wrong with either of them
um… yes and so is hearts and backgammon and pinball…
hungergamesfan- i love that name!! i actually went to an archery place not long ago
Wii by nintendo has alot of kosher games cutesy stuff with little violence also has board games and game show games
Goq- I play a mean game of ‘wheel of fortune’
I would say many sports game are kosher. Try NHL or FIFA, both excellent.
Syag lets see if you can get this one I WANT A _L_R_EE
I’d like to buy an ‘S’
Sorry S is not a vowel.
U
Minecraft! It’s very relaxing to build stuff on there, I’ve built castles, underground rooms, etc. Just use Creative mode and don’t spawn any pigs.
Try sport games. They’re pretty kosher.
Besides sport games, you can try simulators and management games.
Some good ones are:
-Capitalism II (very addictive!)
-Sim City 4 deluxe (SC 2013 is pretty bad, don’t buy it).
-X-Plane 10
@Lost1970 – Tetris is a lot of fun. The mobile app is a watered down version of the game that’s dull by comparison, so I wouldn’t recommend that at all. I highly recommend playing the original on an emulator so you can play it at home as opposed to an arcade.
I know there were some Jewish computer games made based on Sefer Shoftim, but I don’t know how many were made. Can’t seem to find them anymore, but they were decent point and click games, if I remember.
Also, do you like Roller Coaster Tycoon?
Solitaire is the best game in the world.
What platform (PC, Wii, PS3/4, etc)?
Does it have to be purely non-violent? Like, not even smashing robots?
- Thomas Was Alone is a great game. It has a very “artsy” style that may take a bit getting used to.
- Braid is one of my favorites. You play a man trying to get from point A to point B and avoiding all sorts of dangerous things. But the cool part is that you have to play with time by rewinding it, making it go slower or go faster to pass most of the puzzles.
- Some guy above mentioned Minecraft which is definitally falling in the kosher category (squids and pigs non-withstanding)
- Then there’s a lot of great free games out there. One of the best is something called Open TTD where you have to manage a transportation empire
Tell me what you think.
