Hi

I've setup my 2nd A1200 (base spec, with CF on IDE) to let my children play some games on the TV downstairs. I was in my teens when I got an Amiga, so most of the games I played are either a bit too hard, or not really suitable (Moonstone with gore on!?) My children are 6 and 4, and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions of any simple, cheerful, joystick driven games that they might enjoy. Captain Planet seems to have gone down well, (bright and cheerful, lots of music etc) but platform games can be a bit tricky for someone who's learning to use a joystick for the first time in their life!!
Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Rocs.

P.S. Until/unless I manage to get a 4MB memory expansion or similar from somewhere, not every game is possible, as many games that run ok from floppy on a base spec A1200 (or even A500) don't work using WHDload with only 2MB of chip ram. I'll let him loose with a joystick, but I don't really want my 4 year old messing around with floppies!
