Ok but where have the good phone games gone. I'm horrified watching a 10 year old or so relative playing games on his phone only to spend 90% of the time watching unskippable ads.

It's worth it to pay 1 to 5 dollars for a no ad mobile game for the kid. Even if they play it for a week, it's just like any other $5 toy they may have gotten and got bored of.

Can also get an emulator and enjoy all the classics of yore. Chronotrigger holds up, for example

Balatro has an Android version which is great

This is why I just set my kid up with an emulator and a huge list of games.
