Great thread - thanks for compiling that list.

Since it appears it can't be edited, I thought I'd mention a couple over here that may not have been posted.

When he was 4, ds enjoyed his dad's old strategy game (it may be out of print, I don't know) called 'Conquest of the Empire'.

And one of the two big hits last month at Christmas was Dungeons & Dragons. Both the 11-year-old and the 9-year-old are reveling in it. (The other hit was a large Zome kit.)
