Hello,
I have twin 6 year old, boy, nephews, and they love racing and off road type games, "fanatical" springs to mind, unfortunately I have none on my machine, and not a clue what would be suitable for their age level. A few freeware suggestions would be very helpful.
Good day,
Barry
Need suggestions for racing games for 6 year olds

Hello Barry,
A few links you could check out:
GOTD's favourite Games Guru, Whiterabbit, posted a game called Driving Speed a couple of weeks ago and GameTop has a couple of car games and racing games.If they're true fanatics then they'll probably beat ya ;-)
Regards

You can also get the first two Grand Theft Auto games for free (abandonware) from the following address. (probably not suitable for a 6 year old though as there's a lot of violence and I think some swear words) Though the one I’ve supplied requires you to download gameshadow. A games manager that ensures your games are the latest versions. If you don’t want to install gameshadow, just Google Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 (or 2), also try the home of GTA: Rockstar games. You used to be able to download the abandonware directly from their site, though a quick glance over I was unable to find the links:

I’ve already given away a few of my DVD based games, but I still have several that I’m looking to throw out as I never play them now. They are all over 5 years old, but they are much better than today’s game. So if you fancy any one of them; contact me via the administrators. (You have to send a private message to them via the link below your name once you’ve registered in the forums). You’ll have to register over on the forums to do this though. I have the following games to give away (no obligations whatsoever):
Midtown Madness 2 (2001)
Midtown Madness (1999)
London Racer (2000?)
Motocross Mania (2000)
Super Taxi Driver (1999?)
Screamer 4x4 (2000)p.s.
I'd forgotten about the Wheeled Games thread where you'll find links to lots of other racing games apart from the ones I've already posted in my review above:

Some of the links may no longer function because I posted them seven months ago.

Here’s a review of Trackmania that was posted in the forums several months ago:

Hopefully you'll find something here. I'll check through the freeware games I've got to post for the free games for the weekday thread to see if there are any cartoony style racing games. :)

Hi Mr Games Guru ;-)
Congrats on the new title. You've earned it!
I was hoping that you'd pick up on this thread, but hadn't expected you to be online at 5am. I hope all is well!Take care

Hi,
Thank you for all the links, when the boys come to visit next time they will have lots to do. Yes, g@rgoyle, they can already beat me on some of the keyboard games I have, their fingers are way more flexible than mine.:(
Way to go "Games Guru" it is nice to see some recognition for all the work you do.
Have a good one,
BarryPosted 16 years ago #
