Games in the MLP world

[TheElementOfCreavity 63]

I am doing an MLP AU where everyone is cartoon saytrs with horse legs, and I'm struggling with the concept of games in this world. Everyone in this world lives with heavy eco-friendly vibes, with most clothing being made via safe DIY.

I can't come up with a good concept for what video games would be like in this world, I do remember seeing an animation with the MLP character Buttons playing one of those old names that you only control via joystick but idk if that's eco-friendly or a good idea. Can someone help me?

I'm very stuck on hopscotch because I'm hearing the clicking of hooves and chalk can be eco-friendly.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to make eco friendly video games unless they're purely mechanical? You could use wood and ceramics for parts. Make slot machines, a variation of pinball with bells but no lights. Maybe bubble ringtoss and some others?

The only way to include an actual video aspect and include electricity, is if we're moving past an era like we live in today, where solar power and bioplastics are common, everything is carbon neutral/negative, ect. That or like fur clothing, has to be vintage and out of production. Relics of the past, maintained and kept around via green means.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking magic crystals helping with certain thing like visual effects and lighting, I've also decided that ponies play uno in this world and they even play it at casinos (because it sounds hilarious.) I just need to make out how it will function
