Golden Tee is awesome for kids.  All you have to do is move the trackball down and then up.  It's very easy to grasp.  My nieces and nephews love to whip up the trackball (5 through 7 years old).  Tons of fun for them.  Also, when you play multi-player the guys on the screen have different colors to signify each different player.  It makes them learn colors.  Simply play with them and tell them that "yellow" is their color or whatever.  They get excited when it's their color and they say, "It's my turn!" and everyone moves away for them to play.  It also teaches them to be patient and wait their turn to play if it's not their color.

Thumbs up for Golden Tee!

I hear ya on the patience, but please tell me that these kids know their colors before they're 5 years old!

Anyone ever try the Rock N Tread games?  (1, 2, 3 4, etc.)  They are like an early form of Rock Band.  Hit the buttons at the right timing.  Could work for a late 4's, early 5 kids.

Hadn't thought of Golden Tee; similar to bowling games.  I think a lot of trackball-based games would be fun for kids.

No...I'm pretty big into rhythm games, and I've never heard of that.  I'll have to check it out.

My 4 year old niece LOVED PacMan.  She was screaming, cheering, and jumping up and down.

She really wanted to play with the thing so I put on some Ms. Pac-Man and let her give it a go. It was cool seeing her figure out the whole joystick thing.  :lol  Her only problem is that she doesn't have the skills to outrun more than one ghost at a time.

I was thinking that there must be some game on there that a four year old could play for longer than 30 seconds with out dying. Any one got any ideas? :dunno

get yourself a full cheatset (Cheat.ini) (make sure its the right version) for the mame version you are using. then you can set each game up how you want to for the kids.

as far as reccomending a game itself, pac man would have been my first choice. another one to try is a game like Twinbee thats geared towards kids.

two more kid games that are a hit with any kids that do come over and play them, and also seem to never get mentioned are Biomechanical Toy, and cheese chase.
