== Exploring the Mesh ==

Having fun is great, but what are the chances that any of these games actually could exploit the share-aspect of the OLPC? Ok, some of these games I presume (haven't really checked the list, sorry :) will be 'network games' - that basically pitch one player against another or others... lots of fun, I agree, but. I remember a game (The Incredible Machine, iirc) that were lots of puzzles in 2-D that could lend itself to be more collaborative. Does anybody know games of that sort? Or where collaborating and sharing are more the spirit of the game? --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 12:58, 17 January 2007 (EST)

Pingus

Would pingus run on the laptop? I imagine the game trains logical thought (to a degree) and is interesting enough to get children to play with it for a longer time. (at least that's what I did when I got Lemmings I for the Amiga) --Fasten 09:32, 16 January 2007 (EST)

or, maybe, Charly? --Fasten 14:07, 16 January 2007 (EST)

Game review

How about sth. like that? --Fasten 13:52, 16 January 2007 (EST)
