    A few years ago I came across this on one of those cheapo multi-game arcade boards I'd bought. I'd never heard of it before and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a fan of crosshair style shooters as well, even a mediocre title like this is a welcomed entry in such a niche genre. That board I played it on was a bit crap but I'm glad it introduced it to me, along with Riot and Spinal Breakers.

    1. SWAT Police (Arcade via MAME) 2/2
    2. Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure (PSP) 2/7

    Took me longer than I had expected, but I finally wrapped up Gurumin. It wasn't absolutely amazing or anything, but it was fun, cute, and satisfying to play. I'm glad I got around to playing it after having it in my collection for many years. Maybe some day I'll consider a replay and go for more of the unlockables (the remaining photos, outfits, etc.), but I'm good for the time being.

    7. Doom II (Xbox 360) 02/14

    I had finished the "No Rest For The Living" expansion this came with first, then went back through the main game after finishing the newer release of vanilla Doom II on XB1 a few months ago. I'm not nearly as familiar with the sequel as the original, so I probably spent 10-15 minutes on each of the 30 levels.

    1. SWAT Police (Arcade via MAME) 2/2
    2. Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure (PSP) 2/7
    3. Barney's Hide & Seek Game (Genesis) 2/24

    I almost forgot to include this, haha. My daughter likes "playing" this game, but she also asked me to play it, so I went through the whole thing while she watched. I know this game is something of a meme, with people either saying it's the worst game ever or factitiously heralding it as an epic masterpiece, since I guess that's peak comedy to some, but the boring reality is that it's pretty much perfect for the intended audience and understandably uninteresting for older players. I know most people like to make out like their kids are gifted, and when you combine that with gamers, you got people claiming they and their kids could beat Battletoads at 5 months old, but again, the boring reality is that most games are too hard for the preschool and under crowd. I was struggling to clear stage 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. when I was 5, and my daughter, at 2, can barely do much more than mash buttons in games. Furthermore, I don't want to give her a ton of screen time anyway. But she likes watching the Barney show on occasion, and thus, we introduced her to the Genesis game. She likes pressing buttons, and while everybody makes fun of the fact the game can play and beat itself, I think the "self-play" feature is great. She'll happily sit and watch Barney do his own thing, haha. And when she's a bit older, I can see her having fun actually trying to locate the kids and presents.

    1. Portal 2 (Switch) 2/22
    2. Castle Crashers (Switch) 3/4

    @Aussie-Looking at my XBLA downloads, I found I had purchased "Toddler Tantrum" from the Indie store. It basically let you create and move shapes around, make noises and such by moving the sticks and pushing buttons. Funny thing is, my daughter when she was your daughter's age didn't want anything to do with it. She wanted to play more what Daddy was playing (I don't remember what-she had a thing for N64 at the time so I might have been playing that).
