Earthbound snes. Yes you fight things with frying pans, yoyos, etc but the only violent scene in the whole game is a fly dies in a very dramatic way. All of the fights are turn based without violent animations. The story is great, but don't be afraid to use a guide the first time through.
I would especially playing it on a SNES emulator with both save state and fast forward features.
The game is great, but some design elements are really rough. It can be brutally difficult at times and at others cringingly slow. Both emulator features fix that - I wouldn't play it without.
Rewind is the best feature to make roms casual. It can be configured in a lot of the retroarch emulators. I've been using it on snes lately and it's so much better than freezing and loading states.
