Please no. Doh’t feed bad typography to kids.
(When I was a kid, I had access to good design examples. I hated fonts “for kids”. Also, because the essence of play is simulation, and childish fonts ruin the game)

Comic sans black on white is more readable than most copy produced in modern web products.
Designers love grey on grey. I’ll take comic sans any day.
Font and font contrast are entirely orthogonal.
Are they? Font contrast is a multifaceted concept that encompasses not only color but other properties as well. For instance, stroke weight and its modulation, which are inherent to a typeface.

While I wouldn’t advocate for Comic Sans, monospace isn’t exactly good typography either.
But appropriate for a game about shell commands.

So you were a snob since you were a child. Got it.
Please stop gatekeeping subjective matters.
Kids don't like comics fonts?
Not when they'ee out of place.
Any time I've worked with kids older than ~8, they'll gravitate away from comic or obviously "kid focused" fonts, and more towards "cool" fonts.
