Title: Little Kid friendly Amiga games
Post by: Nlandas on March 16, 2008, 11:04:24 PM: Ok, I've set up the old A1200 and tweaked it for my 4 year old. Does anyone have a list of non-violent Amiga games?

The Mickey Mouse games are fun.
Marble Madness
Lemmings
Diggers(Some monsters but not graphic.)

Does anyone have a good list somewhere. I'll turn him loose on them all when he's older but right now I'd like to keep the guns, knives, kicks, etc. to a minimum.

Thanks everyone for any suggestions.

Falling to their deaths with a splat sound, falling into fiery pits, getting crushed, and last but not least, the player can press the "nuke" button and make them all explode into tiny little pieces.

Every time I post on here there always has to be at least one smart a**. Yes, the Lemmings come to end end but they don't cut each other up with axes, swords, shoot each other with guns. If Lemmings is over the top for you kids that's fine but I was trying to give a sense of what we were playing already.

Thanks, I thought I remembered that so I searched for kids and children. Does anyone have an idea of what to put into the site search to find it?

Thanks, I forgot about PacLand - Zool isn't bad either, I might wait a few more months on that one. He tends to mimic a lot right now and I don't want to get a round house to the n*ds. IF you know what I mean.;^)

I'll have to look up the first two, I haven't seen those.

Thanks Daniele.

There's a bit of reading and calculation, so maybe a bit hard for a 4-year old.

Post by: onkelarie on March 17, 2008, 08:51:19 AM: Another good one is 'Little computer people', my 2 year old daughter is spellbound by this little game. But for a 4 year old it might be a bit dull to just watch. You'd need to enter commands each time to make it interesting again.

Another good game is Super Squeek (or Skweek).

Post by: DrDekker on March 17, 2008, 09:09:40 AM: A few other good ones;

Traps 'n' Treasures, Scooby Doo, Spot, Robocod, Humans, Project X, Super Stardust, Stunt Car Racer, Wizzkid, Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions, Scrabble, any of the Dizzy games, Arcade Snooker/Pool, etc...

Thanks, it was very late last night and didn't have the energy to search for it!
Title: Re: When did lemmings become non-violent?
Post by: lionstorm on March 17, 2008, 06:39:25 PM: HOL is your friend, search for educational
http://hol.abime.net/

Bambinours
Goofy
Discovery
KidPix
Memorise
Rody & Mastico (not the first one)
Winnie the pooth

and hundreds of others

the most difficult part is just to get them because they are very rare and emulation sites mostly offers only games, not educational games !

Post by: Nlandas on March 17, 2008, 08:16:30 PM: I'm watching the long plays on a lot of these - they are really neat. I know he'll love a lot of them. Thanks for the help in figuring out which ones would work.

I emailed HOL to see if they can give me an export of educational games so I don't have to manually go through 0-Z. Unless someone knows another way to get the search output into a file.

Thanks for the help.
