Myst series, Obsidian, lighthouse and nothing else comes to mind, although mind you those are all puzzle games. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

And I don't know if they sell them any more, and they're definitely NOT first person, but when I was in elementary school I had an absolute ball with The Incredible Machine and Capitalist Pig (Mac Classic game ). _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

My eldest is 5, btw. For his age he's intellectually quite advanced but emotionally/socially a bit immature. Droidworks says ages 9+, but I'll probably let him try it out when he's around 7. It looks awesome, and he loves gadgets. Lego Star Wars doesn't pass the nonviolent test, but I might get Mrs. Java to okay it for him anyway. _______________ My signature is only one line.

Quote: Throw him at Myst III: Exile first, then as he gets older, throw him at the original Myst. Riven is too long for anyone at that age. Yes! I love Droid Works. I got that when I was 8. It's a good non-violent, fun, thinking game.  For something more action oriented, I would say the first Thief isn't too bad, or Droidworks is pretty cool. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |

Not sure about myst, you have to be a special kind of person to enjoy those games. Usually first person games are shooters, which was why they were given this category to themselves, so usually different genres of games don't need to be first person. But if I can think of any I'll post them here. Eica  _______________ Former padawan of RoseRed |

I highly recommend Myst and Riven to any gamer young or old, especially those looking for a bit of a brain workout. Haven't played the newer ones, so I can't comment on those. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

The Myst series is an adventure. Point-and-click game and not a first-person non-shooter. Oh and yea i really liked how youve been able to hit a lil worm 1 out of 10 times at the very beginning of Morrowind. Made combat extremly...intense. >_> _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

The combat system in Morrowind is... not the best. It's much more an rpg than it is an action rpg, though you kinda need to do the action to stay alive. Good news is, though, they're scrapping the whole 'hit/miss formulas based on weapon skills' for Oblivion. So, no more clicking furiously while your target crosshair is dead-on yet still missing because the game decides you do. _______________ Well then.

I would go with Morrowind for PC i guess. It really depends if you consider slicing up all sorts of creatures with swords and therelike violant. Well i guess it is...meh. On second note, you could go with the RPG Arx Fatalis as well. But yea, its actually all about slicing others with swords instead of guns... _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

Well I'm slight confused by your wording. I would assume you are talking all action, adventure, platformer games that aren't to violent? Like Mario or Zelda? also are you talking PC for the PC or any consoles/handhelds included? _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.
