Our youngest daughter was really into Myst and its sequel, years ago. I got out the first CD and put it in this year with my 4.5 yr. old grandson, her son. He took one look and got through more spots than I ever did, picking up things along the way and getting doors to open, etc. I don't have much patience for the mystery stuff even though I love reading books of mystery. He's been gaming or watching her and her husband game since he was little, so I think he's wired for it. I prefer the books, too, Becky.:-)

Way back when, we had Pyramid which worked on our TRS80. It was all text and it was a blast. Our kids loved it! So different from now.

Do they have these kinds of things in Second Life? It seems it would be a natural for games?
