Minecraft vs Monkey Quest
Minecraft
Minecraft is the most wildly popular independent game that was ever developed! It is basically a voxel sandbox game, whereby you’ll ‘mine’ for materials in the world, gather it and bring it back to construct or craft anything you like, with some elements of MMOs. This game allows you to let your imagination loose so you can create whatever masterpieces or in general, objects you want! You can even build stuff together with your friends in Minecraft in the multiplayer mode.There are adventures to be had where you can battle mobs that come out at night, or work to reach the nether realm to fight the final boss and get the rarest substances. Best yet, due to the rise of interest in battle royale games, you can now play a special battle royale-themed Minecraft mode through the Brawl servers (http://www.brawl.com/games/battleroyale/)

Monkey Quest
Monkey Quest is a child-friendly MMORPG/ virtual world game set in the beautiful, isometric (platformer-like) world of Ook. Play as an adorable monkey, which you can customize as you wish, and set off on an RPG-like adventure where you'll complete quests given by other monkeys you meet along the way. The monkey you play as will also need a class, and you can choose from being a Pirate to a Wizard to a Ninja or even to a Viking.Being part of an MMORPG, you'll also get to play with your friends and journey together in a group, battling enemies along the way. As you level up, you'll also gain more powerful and cool-looking skills to help you defeat tougher foes. You can even buy a pet who will help you during combat. For the explorers at heart, there are plenty of locations for you to explore as well.
However, the best thing about this game is that it is designed with a younger audience in mind, and thus, the game has plenty of restrictions in place to help safeguard these younger players from potential cyber harm. This also allows parents to turn this game into a fun family-bonding activity.
That said, Monkey Quest has been shut down quite some time ago and if you're interested to find another game that both you and your kids will be able to enjoy, you might want to take a look at our list of alternative games.
