I have a 3-yr old, he plays on my cab and loves mame games.

I stick the cheats on for him, and he loves things like pacman, bionic commando, jackal, rally x, loderunner etc. He loves games where he has to "do" something (rescue hostages, collect dots etc) rather than just "shoot to kill and avoid being hit". The cheats on mame make the games really playable for him.

Can you guys suggest some nice and easy C64 games he might like? Smile Or even difficult ones if there is a trained version? Wink

Cheers

I have a light pen and when my daughter was a little younger she loved to draw on the screen. Of course I always hoped she did not grab crayons and draw on my 47 inch LCD in my living room. Smile She didn't, luckily.

Well, if you don't mind a three-year old playing Jackal or Bionic Commando, then I would like for you to have him bring one of his other 3 year old buddies and have them play Spy vs. Spy. Nothing quite like a good, ole stabbin' competition to get the day started.

Maybe the random insanity of Revenge of the Mutant Camel will amuse him. Bruce Lee also ought to be good for a laugh.

My boy loves anything with Mickey or Thomas at the moment.

My boy likes to play Bubble Bobble. It's not hard to learn, but much fun to play, even for a 6-years old boy.
