Dungeon Explorer
Parasol Stars
Bomberman or Bomberman '93
Cadash
Motoroader
Aeroblasters
Ordyne

There's a few others, like Military Madness, but those might be a bit much for young kids. And of course, if you don't mind switching back and forth there are lots more games that support two or more players, just not simultaneously. Oh yeah, and sports games too.

RF isn't great when it comes to picture quality.

Or send it to, D-lite and have av jacks added to it :wink:

Also, Hit the Ice is fun with 4ps 8)

Luckily, Parasol Stars and Bomberman(s) are totally mom-friendly since they're cut. Plus, they're both fun as heck, so I think they will be a hit with the kids.

I strongly recommend Dungeon Explorer and Cadash, if mom approves, since they are a blast to play (especially DE).

Motoroader if fun, but I fear It might get frustrating if the kids aren't savvy drivers. I really enjoyed multi-player games, though, especially because you can upgrade your car.

Aeroblasters is a tough game, but it rules. But it is tough for little ones. IIRC, when you play co-op, you can bump each other and create a special weapon.
