Maybe try a jungle gym, swings, or a slide.

I'm not sure how you'd implement typing into shoot'em ups, but Typing of the Dead is the best, most fun typing game ever.

I think I 6 year old would have pretty big trouble with it though. There are some rather complex words and long sentences, especially later in. I don't know if there's a difficulty setting, but it would be cool if the game could actually be used to promote learning. I just play it because it's amazing stupid fun.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing

It's pretty nontraditional for a shmup but so is any typing game I guess

But Raiden IV is sadistic! On "easiest" (where bullets disappear under your fire) it's normal at best. Weird example :shock:

That's the 2nd easiest. On the easiest, enemies don't fire at all. No bullets.

My friend, you need easier shmups, not typing games.

Do us a favor and don't bore your little fellow, rather employ some beginner-friendly shooters.

My suggestion, Eschatos (on easy!).

If he doesn't mind old stuff, try Tecnosoft titles.
Play for fun and win when you can.

I heard Futari Ultra is easy since you can just keep continuing whenever you die.

When I was 6 I loved Operation Wolf and Flying Shark... whilst being so bad I couldn't even clear the first stage on either.

An enjoyable hard game is the way to go.

Making a 6 year old play shmups is very close to child abuse.

God ! I'm nowhere near good at typing and this amused me for the first 3 minutes where you only have to type words to shoot them.
But then the DDP-esque big ship comes out and shoots letters at you, game over. Great game, try it out pals.

Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

If you enjoy that, you seriously want to play Typing of the Dead. Especially 2-player arcade mode on a Dreamcast.

I also recommend Typing of the Dead. I couldn't go back to playing House of the Dead 2 after I'd played TofD. Brilliant game.

I was playing Dragon Warrior and Capcom platformers.

Sounds like a natural upbringing to me.

Not to my knowledge. Dreamcast and Steam(well, the Overkill version).

The PC version of the original The Typing of the Dead loses same-screen multiplayer and gains network multiplayer, if I remember right.

Same here. Funnily enough, that increases the value of HotD4 to me.

Sorry guys.
