These old games (7K to 700K) display CGA and play via PC speaker (no need 
to put in a sound card) and are much simpler.  I found a much older digger 
(which I can only exit with Ctrl-Alt-Del), tetris, arcanoid, paratrooper 
and prince, all of which are playable by kids at least on the beginner's 
level.

I will look for PacMan and Mario Brothers.

Steven's xdigger is too complicated.  Of the linux games, only hangman was 
usable by the kids.  I will try to teach them to 'climb down' in 
castlemaze.

It does not help that I don't know how to play computer games.

I also have the DOS typing tutor.

Thanks for all the ideas.
