My son keeps asking for a computer game. While we really don't like idea of it, we think it's better for us to find him somthing we know is "ok" - has no untznius pics, etc...
Any ideas? Heard of sim city- Anyobe gave that one?

It's been several years since we used it, but I don't recall any women in Zoo Tycoon.

Oldies but goodies - Oregon Trail, Amazon Trail, Carmen Sandiego series; World of Goo, Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, Nancy Drew series (most have modestly dressed characters)

Minecraft is perfect. Very creative, nothing inappropriate. It's like legos for the computer.

Interesting game.

Just Google "simcity" and you can look at it yourself.

Sim is nice. The new generation maybe less for boys.

I don't remember women in rollercoaster?

Be careful with Sim City, because it is definitely possible, depending on the version, to have completely non-tznius content. The one I downloaded for my Kindle definitely allows the Sims to kiss (and it's a full-on embrace), and when they go to the bathroom, shower, or have relations, there are pixels, but still not something you would want a child to see. I grew up playing games like Civilization - no characters, per se, just creating armies, building cities, establishing trade, and developing civilizational advances. I don't know if the newer versions have remained as PG, but it was a great game back in the day.
