Interesting question at Slashdot. My 3 (and a half) year old’s favorite game (at the moment) is an old arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles played via MAME. I bought a el cheapo analog joystick (or is that a pad…) that worked straight out of the front USB port and it took him about 5 minutes to work it out, now he’s nearly better than me 🙂 is this to young???
