[quote name='SneakyPenguin'][quote name='JSweeney'][quote name='Gothic_Walrus']Five may be too young...then again, I was playing games when I was six. It depends on the kid, I guess.
Most of the first party Nintendo games are probably a safe bet...they aren't easy, but they're definitely appropriate. I'd suggest the Kirby game (Nightmare in Dreamland?).[/quote]
You have to be careful with that.. my kid brother had beaten Super Mario Brothers by the time he was 4, and Legend of Zelda by the time he was 5.[/quote]
christ you have a prodigy there.[/quote]
I started when I was three but no where near that good. I could never pass 8-3 when I was young and 8-2 used to give me trouble(that long ass leap used to get me)
I still have never beaten a Zelda game. I get to the end and quit.
try counter punch. I spent quite a good bit of time at my friends playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (i believe the code is 007 373 5963 and that was from memory, I played it that much LOL)
