The other day I was babysitting my four-year-old cousin.
In her explorations of the house, she came across my Super Nintendo carts. Looking through them, she picked out Super Mario All-Stars and demanded to play it.
I set up the console, plugged her in, and off she went.
She immediately selected Super Mario Bros. Never got through the first level, but hey, she got farther than I ever did the first time I ever played it, and I was at least twice her age then. Had a hell of a lot more patience as well.
After a while, I suggested she try Mario Paint and all was well - she kept herself entertained for another hour or so.
I think, with a bit of encouragement, she may turn out to be the first gamer chick in our family.
Very exciting times.
