My 6 year old daughter LOVES Ms. Pac-man, Galaga, Galaga 88, Frogger, Mr. Do!, Dig Dug, Circus Charlie, Donkey Kong, Jungle King, Burger Time and a bunch of others.  She is decent at them - she can get past the first or second level in most of these games.  My son (3) will play anything but only for a few minutes no matter what is going on.  He just likes selecting the games, trying them out and exiting to the front end.  He could do this for hours and never get bored even though he has no idea what is actually going on in the games (other than Pac-man and Donkey Kong which he is OK at).  He was actually playing KLAX the other day!

For 3-4 year olds, Leprechaun or the pirate game whatever the name is.
6 year old girl loves Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon and other fighting games of that genre.  Anything that has a continue function and involves button mashing either head to head or team action will keep her playing for an hour.
Anything else - maybe 1 or 2 minutes.

My 5yo son is crazy into NBA Jam.

He's got a small hangup nerf type basketball hoop that is made to sit on a doorknob.  He's been playing with it for months, easily his favorite toy.  He does color commentary while he's playing like the announcers on tv.

So I finished my cab and he learned how to play NBA Jam with Dad.  Now he plays a lot by himself.  And when he is just playing with his real hoop, now his color commentary includes stuff like:  "BOOM SHAKALAKA!" and "Out of his range!" or "The monster jam!" and "He's on fire!"

Its pretty funny to listen to him.

He also likes:
2 on 2 NHL Open Ice
Cyberball (if I'm playing on same team.  he's no good at defense, but he's learning QB pretty quick)
Hat Trick

See a trend??  He's crazy into sports.
