Lou: How do you all feel about GOG adding a bunch of kids games. The old dos based games like Museum Madness, Fatty Bear, Putt Putt etc. My kids loved those games and played them to death. Opinions ???
prakaa: I played Putt Putt, Fatty Bear, etc..
Great games.
I'd support them going on, but whether it would be viable, in terms of profit, fr GoG is another question
Bio2hazard: In my humble opinion, The Incredible Machine is the best kids game PERIOD.
I grew up with that game and have been playing it since very young, and it made me learn and understand concepts of gravity way before anyone else in my age group, along with logics and other assorted common sense things ( which is far from common at such a young age. ). Its exessively fun and very educational.
Can people of an older age still pick it up and play it?
The Incredible Machine can be played by anyone and trains, in my opinion, logical thinking and basic concepts of physics.
The game works like this, there is several puzzle challenges, for example 6 floating baseballs and 6 "baskets" are preset - the goal then is to get all 6 baseballs to get into those baskets.
You get a selection of items to achieve this. In this example, you might put see-saws below the baseballs and then use a bowling-ball to catapult the baseball into said baskets.
It basically is a virtual rube-goldberg maker.. and who doesn't love a good rube goldberg ? ;)
