While Gcompris is not something I play around with, I’m glad it’s there. The massive number of sub-games available for it is stunning — multi-lingual too! My nephew and one of my nieces like it, though the niece likes Exult more! [wipes tear from eye]
Either way, if you have kids or are the favorite relitive, Gcompris is one to add to the list.
Another crowd pleaser for those under 10 is a KISS paper doll viewer. Yep, mostly for girls, though there are some space, weappon, and other object ‘dolls’ available.
