Hehehehe... unless you had the GS first, you could just go out and buy a
Nintendo... you'd get off a lot cheaper :).

Gads.. there are a lot of good games for the GS.  It all depends on how old
the kids are.  If they aren't REALLY young (like 6 or 7) you could get Task
Force GS, one of the best games made for the GS.  It might be a little violent
for younger kids, but for the average kid it's a really good shoot 'em up with
lots of weapons and explosions.  If you haven't seen it, it is a lot like NARC
in the arcade and a bit like Crime Wave for the IBM.  Wonderful piece of work.
This would probably be comparable to a game along the lines of Contra (yes, I
do have a Nintendo, too :)  )

As far as 'Nintendo-like', maybe I'm missing something (I play stuff like
Dungeon Master, Bard's Tale, etc) or maybe just not a whole lot exists for the
Apple II.  There's plenty of educational stuff like the Carmen Sandiegos....
If I have a brainstorm and think of any others I'll post em here for ya.
