my son has just been bought a gameboy as a present. he can't wait to play with it. does anyone know a game which would suit a 4 to 5 year old or is there such a thing?

Hi - I think you can get Bob the Builder, Scooby Doo, Rugrats etc - try ToysRUs they usually have a good selection of younger games as well as the older ones too.
Is it an Advance or Advance XP (or whatever the latest one is)?

IT'S A GAMEBOY COLOUR.AND I THINK IT'S AN AWFUL PRESENT FOR A 4 YEAR OLD. IF IT WAS LEFT TO ME I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FIRST READING OR MATHS BOOK BUT WHAT DO I KNOW!!!!!!!!!
I'M ONLY JOKING OF COURSE BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO A SIMPLE PRESENT LIKE AN ACTION MAN OR A GOOD GAME.
IS HE GOING TO BE CONSTNATLY LOOKING TO PLAY THIS THING.

Snap Lieman! My four year old got a gameboy today for his birthday!! He's only played one game - 'Finding Nemo' but he really liked it. A little help with the reading and he was off!

Go to Game or Gamestation. They do 2nd hand ones at quite a reasonable price. I've got a 6yr old and a nearly 4 year old and they've both got one (stops arguements that way) I think DS2s favourite ones are Tweenies and scoobyDoo but he'll play Tombraider, Pokemon etc although I don't think he really knows what he is doing!
Well its 1.30 in the morning, I'm on the PC and DH is on the XBox - I wonder where they get it from....?!
