Raiders of the Lost Sim

<< < (5/13) > >>

witch:
Anyone ever play 'Neverhood'? Best puzzle game I ever played, entirely suitable for children and wonderful music.

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, obviously there are some games around that will appeal to small girls, but I don't think there are as many as are aimed at boys!

witch:
I get depressed in computer game shops. Millions of racing, shooting, army sim type games. Bugger all else. I bought Monopoly Tycoon recently, that's a bit more than just monopoly - apparently the developers wished they'd called it something else to indicate it was more involved.

Trouble is I think the complexity and openendedness of the sims has spoilt me for most games. I don't like playing rigidly defined roles with predictable outcomes.

ZephyrZodiac:
I rarely play anything else except Spider solitaire!  Trouble about small girls is, those I meet, which admittedly isn't that many these days, all seem to be attracted to Sims2, which is unfortunately totally unsuitable for 7 year olds, although the original label in the UK for the base game was 7+  I know sims 1 is mostly suitable for kids, but it's not easy to explain to a 7yearold why her big brother or sister can have Sims2, but he/she can only have Sims1.  Perhaps the time has come for EA to make a child-orientated sims game, based on home, school, shopping, holidays etc., but with all the sophistication of sims2 minus the adult features.  I mean, if they don't really like the idea of kids being seen in bathrooms, why not send them to the bathroom then when they lock the door it blanks out like a dorm room?  And I don't mean the game should just be a censored version of Sims2, but a totally child-orientated game, with parents, older teens, etc. as peripherals, and including teachers.  Kids could get good grades, move up a class, that sort of thing.  There could be a sports day every few sim days, and sim kids could get fit in order to win races etc!

Ness:
*shudder*

I got monopoly tycoon...  I can't get past the allegedly easy levels!  Same with beasts and bumpkins - there's one level that is apparently still in the tutorial phase that I just can't get through!

gah!
