A few years ago I was working with a guy who had written a shareware RPG for children. He actually released three different versions of the software and it was recieved very well. See http://www.yipesoftware.com/ for details (note all versions ran on the Mac, although he is currently working on a PC version). Anyway, the thing that struck me about his games is that they appealed to an age range usually ignored by other game vendors. That is the K-6 range. Many parents (especially Christian) don't want there young kids playing games with excessive violence and blood which is unfortunately 90% of the games out there. I began talking with this guy about creating an online version of these games, but we never got beyond the talk. I think there is a real ministry opportunity here for making a game like this. I haven't thought through the details so I was hoping that we can come up with something together. The primary forces here would be:

1) Targeted at the k-6 age range
2) Easy and fun to play
3) Christian Based

This could be used as an outreach tool as well!

Go to http://bigidea.com It has lots of fun Christian online games just for kids, though I personally think they're great for all ages!
