Mega Drive games suited for a six year old

[SuperDanX]

Tbh are there any games on the MD unsuitable for a 6 year old? Even stuff like MK and Splatterhouse are tame nowdays, and im sure he'd rather play something 'gory'

[Tirian]

Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkatron
Aladdin
Rolo to the Rescue
Sonic 2
Mega Bomberman

If you can get hold of the Classics Collection, it's usually not too much of a hit and you get Gunstar Heroes, plus Flicky (great game!) as well as Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Altered Beast.

Gunstar Heroes is certainly no pushover though!! A six year old will prob. find it pretty frustrating!

[DeathAdder]

Tetris.

Easy to play and a nice little nest egg for him when he's older

[Champloo]

Definitely Aladdin.

Seem to remember some of the James Pond games being quite tough but maybe I was just to young.

Wonder Boy series - Is it monster world or land on the MD - whichever it was, its great.

Earthworm Jim is top notch.

I enjoyed Street Fighter and Streets of Rage back in the day and I was about 6, don't know if you're trying to avoid those sort of games though...

Magical Turbo Flying Hat Adventure, or the cheaper PAL "Decap Attack" allthough that does feature a man with a decapitated head

[Ryo Saeba]

Thx for the suggestions everyone ^^

Why should he?

You can also get Gunstar on the classics collection for a bit less I think.

I've never heard os such a collection and neither google nor GameFaqs is coming up with any results, could anyone provide a link or something?
A cheap way to get Gunstar Heroes along with some other games would be ace.

@Champloo:
The Wonderboy series is a good idea
Earthworm Jim is awesome, I might be considering it, but I think it's a bit too hard.
Regarding Street Fighter, that seems a expensive for me, as I'd have to buy two six button pads along with it.

Robocod is great, I'd say Kid Chameleon but it's bloody hard. Krusty's Super Fun House or Lemmings possibly, ToeJam & Earl 1 & 2, Castle of Illusion is still one of the best games I ever played and although it might be a little too old for him, Revenge of Shinobi still ranks in my top 5 games of all time. Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 definitely

How is the other Micky Mouse game (World of Illusion) compared to Castle of Illusion? Seems like this one even features a Co-op multiplayer mode.
ToeJam & Earl looks mad, I love that^^ Iremember reading that the first one is kind of like a roguelike, which I really find intriguing. To bad that it seems to be so expensive.

And while I'm at it, anyone knows if it would be possible to play NTSC games on a PAL machine without a converter? That would be nice ^_-

@wheelaa: Awesome, thx. Why haven't I ever heard of it? Seems like it has been released exclusively in the UK

[chaoticjelly]

You can play early US NTSC games without a converter, but later games which were locked by frequency i.e. hertz will not play.

Japanese games won't fit.

[tokyochojin]

Lion king, Outrun, Batman, New Zealand story??

...although the last one is a bit of a bastard isn't it.:P

[alphatyrant]

World of Illusion was OK, not as catching as Castle, to me it felt like more style over content, not sure why. It's like all those Disney straight to DVD sequels....there's just no soul in them

ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron (the sequel) is very good and a wonderfully colourful platformer and definitely worth it, but the original has so many little sight gags and fantastic characters you need to get it.

If you hold in your b or c button and then put the US NTSC game in it should kick in no problem. Im not sure if it works for all games but it works for castlevania bloodlines and other later region locked games that i own.

[elkatas]

How about some platformers like Bubsy the Bobcat..

Noooooooooooooo!
