i was only around that age when i started playing Horace Goes Skiing! I'm not sure i knew much about what was going on though, or how much it would affect me
 i'm struggling to think of similar (and good) amiga games though. how about a nice simple collect-and-jump platformer like Mouse Trap? |

Mr Men Olympics - now that's a blast from the past. I used to play that lots when I was little.
Maybe dedicated kids games like Thomas The Tank Engine and stuff like that would be a good place to start. |

Shufflepuck Cafe. I've played it with my 4 years old niece ages ago. She liked it.

I always found Mousetrap annoying and unfair, although I have an original.
What about Burger man (a Burgertime clone)? Maybe Car-vup and Chuckie egg could be suitable as well. And from not-so-simple games - James Pond. |

Referred to children a bit older but you may find some titles also enjoyabl for a 3 and half year old in this thread:

I liked Apprentice when I was a kid, although I was much older than 3 back then (maybe 9).

 You affected? Never.  Simple games like Pong, Tetris(Might even help with spatial awareness), pinball and Pacman might be fun. 3 Years old... Maybe just pong then, I probably couldn't do much at that age, other than running naked. :P Last edited by skateblind; 06 November 2009 at 22:47. |

I dont know how popular Thomas the tank engine is in Belgium
Thomas The Tank Engine http://hol.abime.net/3422 I think the old WHD slave works better - my four year old niece likes that. Castle of Illusion - AmiMasterGear |

Perhaps computer games are a little bit too much to handle for a three year old kid, and it's better to wait a few years? I'm not telling you what to do (and I'm not a parent), but perhaps non computer games aimed at the very youngest are the better option?

My sister used to like to play wonderboy in monsterland, but I think she was around five at the time.

Captain Planet on the Amiga is very colourful and I played that when I was young along with my much younger cousins.
Now it is as hard as nails, but the colours are great and to be honest when you are young you do not necessarily play a game "properly" you just run around and do all the wrong things! |
