He was talking about dizzy/bowelmovement games.

My daughter who is 3 loves ScummVM games (Pajama Sam, putt-putt, Freddi Fish etc.)

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!

I think you'll find a lot of suggestions in this thread

As for the whdload problem, some games also have a JST install so that could be an option.

Great link, thanks. Did a search before, but clearly my Search-Fu failed me

Amiga games for children - Suggestions please!

I suggest you ask for at least 3 boxed games with manuals per child

maybe 6 is too young for this but in a couple of years i would reccomend pushover. it will really get them thinking and build up there logic at the same of enjoying the cute ness of a little rat pushing over yellow dominos. true classic

DoogUK · 24 January 2009, 22:41

My 4 yr old adores superfrog and deluxe galaga .

Rocs9005 · 24 January 2009, 23:41

Heh, Pushover is brilliant! We were actually playing that earlier today,
they were very interested, as that game has tons of style, good music, and interesting puzzles (my 6 year old also loves Lemmings).
I am fairly sure it's an Ant pushing those dominoes around, but that's kinda beside the point

My 4 year old quite liked Frenetic (we played 2 player simultaneous) but it's not the easiest shootemup. Likewise with Apidya - fantastic game, but a bit tricky for them at the moment.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Rocs.

Colourful games like Zool and Brian the Lion might go down well too.

Threads duly merged

As I said in an earlier post, pinball games might go down well, they're pretty easy to play.
