Memories of good ol' nintendo times...  

I agree it is very cute indeed. Don't you love it when they tilt the whole controller pad because they think they will steer their car or persona that way? It's surprising how fast they pick these things up, more often than net they are way better in playing games than us! Enjoy watching your little boy, they grow up so fast! .

I couldn't agree more, these old games have a certain quality that makes you want to play them over and over again. Kids around the ages of 6 to 8 seem to be the experts on these simple games. Perhaps we think much to difficult to play these games well, and we are less agile and less quick with responding I guess.

I did hear of the game but i never played it. I loved the game troll island on the SNES and after years I have found one. You play a treasure troll and every piece of ground you touch turns coloured. The whole land has lost his colours to an evil wizard. It is a very sweet, non violent game with the goal to colour back every stage by walking everywhere and defeating enemies by throwing cakes at them and eating the blob of cakes that is left over. If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend to look for it! Happy gaming and thanks for responding!

That sounds like a really good game. Maybe it will be eventually a game that can be downloaded on the Wii. If it is not, it's always fun to eBay it.
Another great thing of gaming as a family is that as your kids get older the gamers will want to gather at your home and now you can keep an eye on what's going on in the middle of beating them from time to time. :)
I find that most gamers are usually the quiet, smart kids. They usually are more conservative and a good bunch.

It would indeed be fun to download the game for the wii! At the time being I play it on my old SNES system which luckily is well preserved and still works like a charm. It does show some signs of getting older, but what do you expect after allmost 20 years of service? Gaming as a family is great, I agree. My father doesn't like to game, but me and my mom can have a great time playing SNES or WII together.

Thank you for responding, breezie! It's good to see you around.
I hope you still enjoy mylotting here and have made it to your first payout by now.
To go back on topic: it's good to hear that your kids enjoy the old consoles. It seems to be a universal thing that children like the simple games better than the new, high tech, 3D games that are out on the market. We have a bunch of different consoles aswell and my foster brother likes the SNES best. We do not have a NES but I think he would love that one aswell.

Aw, that's too bad, James! You should really try extra hard this year to capture Santa, and you might be able to dig through the presents and get yourself a new console , lol! I agree the nintendo 64 had some great games aswell. Me and my neices have played mario party for hours!
