Sunday School games?

Hi, all,

My church's computer lab is a disaster; myriad old desktop PCs, mostly running Windows 98, riddled with viruses and malware. We ended up disconnecting the whole lab from the internet because the PCs are so sick.

What I'd really like to do is set these systems up with Linux; I don't know if we'd use U:CE, just because most of the PCs have 64-128MB RAM, so they're probably better off with a minimal Debian install and Openbox or Fluxbox.

Setting that aside, though, most of what we want to do with the PCs is let kids play games and surf the web. We have a lot of Sunday School games that the kids kind of like, but they're *really* old- do any of you remember old games written in Macromedia, before Macromedia was owned by Adobe? That, and really old Quicktime is most of what powers these games. I've tried getting them running in Wine, and most of them fail.

So, what I'm looking for is games targeted at 6-12 year old kids, preferably Christian-oriented, but a few secular games are fine. I'd like them to run on Linux, but if they work under Wine, that should be ok, too. We're looking for free-as-in-beer because there's nothing in the budget for the lab this year. Web games are fine too, we just want to get the kids playing with the computers again!

Thanks much, all!

In the admin account go to Application --> Add or Remove and take a look through there. There are tons of game that are great for kids that age. I'm not sure on any christian oriented games but there are acade games, racing games, and stradgedy games.

Anything on the Interet is okay too. But that Isnt' to hard

But do make sure when playing games that the Graphic Drivers are installed if you have nVidia or ATI. They do make game play better but if you don't then you might be running with slow response. Also Xbuntu Works better on lower end PC's.
