lost blog - DOS Game Recommendations?

[RSS Bot]

I have a 4th grade student who is absolutely obsessed with the Doom series of games, Shadow Warrior, and Abuse. He uses DOSBOX to play them on his PC at home.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot use these games to motivate him at school... nor should I be engaging with him in conversation about the games since they are ultra-violent. I'm wondering if anyone has some DOS game recommendations that might also be elementary school appropriate? Thanks in advance!

 

(Admittedly, I hadn't played

or

until tonight. I rather enjoy Abuse, but Shadow Warrior didn't really do it for me; I've never been a big fan of gory Doom-like games.)

While I'm posting... does anyone have a GBA SP that they'd like to sell me for cheap? Currently, I let my students earn time with my Gameboy Advance, but the screen is dark and it is getting pretty battered (I've replaced the protective screen twice).
