Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker for Amiga.

Stolen Thunder for the C64.

These are all good

That was obviously my first pick

Kid Gloves on Amiga

Probably it will be something on your phone or tablet device before a full console experience. A Toca Boca app or an endless runner like Sky Safari. But if you want to have them jump right in with an FPS, go with Doom Eternal, sure.

Ghostbusters is a funny one. I just watched it this evening with my 9 yr old and she loves it. There's a few references to sex, including an implied blowjob from an invisible ghost. I think some of them references were too nuanced for her.

That said, when she first saw Ghostbusters and the sequel at age 6 (not on my watch!!!) She had nightmares for weeks. I was royally pissed that she saw it but that side of her family are very cavalier about ratings...

If you're not sure, then wait.

Tilly (6) watched both Addams Family films towards the end of last year and I was a bit squirmy in places.  I got the eyebrows from the wife at least twice.  

She's not ready for Ghostbusters yet.  The goalposts have moved slightly for what you'd expect from a PG imo, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's shifted.  The sex references wouldn't fly these days, nor would repeated use of 'shit' (see The Goonies, and throw in the coke & speed/sexual torture device references), although I could be wrong.  On the flipside, in my day there wouldn't have been a snowball's chance in hell of The Fellowship of Ring getting passed as a PG because of beheadings, Boromir's drawn out demise and whatnot.  

Watership Down is still classified U and that contains a seagull shouting piss off, mutilated rabbits, disemboweled rabbits, rabbits with eyes popping out as they're munched on by a Rottweiler and multiple scenes of a distressing nature.

My boy was 9 when we watched Addams Family this Halloween just gone. He really enjoyed it.

Funnily enough I've been thinking of showing him Ghostbusters as well, I *think* he'll be fine but you never know

I saw Ghostbusters 2 in the cinema. I think I was 4.

I had nightmares about Vigo for months. But I turned out okay.

Is the bar "some people did X and turned out ok" or "most people would have been happier not doing X"?  I guess it's a parent's frequent dilemma.  As above, I suspect I'm overly protective, but none of mine seem to be clamouring for any more...

It absolutely was tongue in cheek to suggest you had reg foisted on the forum as a result of thar movie

That movie sucks but I at least recognised bits of it.

Dumb and Dumber is also filmed in SLC and the aspen bit is up near Park City where I used to live fwiw.

Gremlins have me nightmares as a kid. That first time you see them turning, steaming away in the attic etc. 

Also, my brother say and watched Alien/s with little me sat in the same room. Repeated Xenonorph nightmares was not nice. 

Predator is another. I love my brother for introducing me to it, but maybe not at 8 or 9 years old.
