i know i already posted, but my 3 year old son just found a new game he loves.....Primal Rage.  He is a huge fan of dinosaurs in general, and is learning all kinds of stuff about dinosaurs that i never knew.(causing me to do a lot of dino research lately).  He is constantly asking people what their favorite theropod is, or is people that quetzalcoatlus is the largest pterosaur, or explaining the differences between a parasaurolophus and a pachycephalosaurus....my point is, he loves dinosaurs. i was looking at Wii reviews the other day online and saw there was a dinosaur fighting game coming out soon and it reminded me of Primal Rage, so i added it to my favorites list on my mame cabinet and showed it to him yesterday.  we have played it for several hours over the last two days, he loves it. sure it is kinda stupid, and he just mashes buttons, but it has been a huge hit with him.

This is a great game.  Do you know if it's cabinet friendly though?

Edit:  Took a gamble and bought it from Popcap games.  50% off for the holidays!  So I gambled at $9.95 and won.  It works perfectly, my young nieces and nephews will love it.  However, I have two mouse buttons on my panel built in.  For those who don't have them it won't work correctly; as you CANNOT assign buttons in the options.

Vidmouse:  If they like TMNT, surely they'll love X-men or the Simpsons.

Yeah I forgot about X-Men.  They like that one too.

My daughter recently got into Pac-Man after we put up our Christmas ornaments
this year and I kept on pushing the sound effects button on my Pac-Man ornament.
She goes crazy everytime she eats a power pill.
