Title: Need help finding a GBA game for young kids
Post by: unclet on June 12, 2006, 09:18:12 am

I am interested in getting a couple new GBA games for my sons to play.  Any game title recommendations for small children?  Basically, what are the "better...most popular" games for GBA?

THanks

How young? I might reccomend Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario Pinball Land and Donkey Kong King of Swing.

Look for "I Spy: Challenge".  I have a 5 and 8 year old and they found it entertaining.  The 5 year old prefers Spngebob though.  :)

If they like robot dinosaurs, there's Zoids Legacy - fight, collect parts to make new Zoids, modify your existing Zoids (pilot, guns, etc.). There's some strategy in arranging who's where in your battle line-up, kind of like an RPG.

Any Mario game is suitable for that age.
