Recommend a game boy style handheld game
My 6 year old will soon fly on an airplane alone, and I want to buy a
electronic game for him that will keep him busy for much of that time (4 hours). Kind of like game boy. I have no idea what is hot right now, but I know that I do not want to end up paying a lot for game cartridges. The best would be some sort of open source type device, but if not, at least something that is not a ripoff. Thanks i |

Ninetindo Ds is a hand-held game. It runs about $130.

In the UK, you can get second-hand games relatiely cheaply for the different hand-held consoles. Shops that sell new games also sell "pre-owned" games for a fraction of the price. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |

The best would be some sort of open source type device, but if not, at least something that is not a ripoff. My kids have a Nintendo DS and it's simple enough that my then-4 year old could play some of the games. It was $130 when I bought it, and the games were between $20-30. You can also buy used games cheaper at certain stores(I think the one I get used ones from is GameStop, but I could be wrong). It has a screen you use a stylus to control things and also has the button controls like gameboys have. There's a game my youngest especially likes called Nintendogs. You can get a puppy and feed and play with it, and teach it tricks and enter dog shows. Marie |
