Games your kids love to play ...
« on: September 14, 2007, 03:55:36 pm »
Seeing as though most of us are of a certain generation, some of us will have kids now (never mind grandchildren!).

What is the favorite game your children love to play.

I'll start, and get the most obvious out of the way,

Pacman! (Played by my 5 year old!)

I think its cause its a real arcade machine. on the MAME cab NBA JAM (and clones)
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

My kids love the arcade in the house. They love playing Galaga.Frogger.Don Pachi,Track n field.

They (3 & 5 y.o.) like World Class Bowling, The Simpsons, TMNT and Ms Pacman.

They do spend most of their time playing HamsterBall (PC game) on the arcade machine.

My boys recently discovered Warlords and love it. They also get a huge kick out of Blood Brothers and the Metal Slug series. Anything where they can play together at the same time.
I've got a fever...

my 4yr old son likes World Class Bowling, especially when he gets to see the toilet flush, and the "Ghost Game" aka Pac-man.
