a good non-violent lan game?

[Jombo]

i will be teaching a computer course at my church w/ a friend in about a month. we were thinking of letting the kids play a lan game, but only thing i can come up w/ are fpss'

i dun mind it at all, but i have a feeling the parents won't exactly be happy when their kid talks about a frag fest when asked about what computer stuff they learned at church ^^

any suggestions?

C&C Generals? WC3? Not as violent as an FPS...

Some church freaks think that games with magic are eveil and encourage thier children to practice witchcraft.... seriously.

Colin McRae Rally II is quite fun.

 

[JoeKing]

there was also a paintball based fps a few years back.

how about starcraft?

Civilization would be sorta non-violent.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Non-violent? What does this mean?

How old are the kids? That might be a bit over their head depending on the age range.

age of empires

Any of the Worms series games?
As long as the kids don't have access to sheep and dynomite I don't see the harm in it.

Get a racing game of some sort, they would like that.

Any of the NFS series would be okay as long as the "running from the law" aspect of them isn't going to offend anyone.

oh man, that is a great game. RalliSport Challenge (these are both Rally Racing games) is good too, but only up to 4 at a time, and while RalliSport > CMR2, in CMR2 you can see the people you're racing against, and you can run into them -->great fun

 

[Nitemare]

Counter Strike(not really that violent)?

This is bad..I can't think of any games that don't involve trying to kill somebody or something.

Star Wars Pod Racer? Someone remind me if that supports mutliplayer.

Bahaha... Counter Strike not violent huh?
And Bill Clinton never had sexual relations with Miss Lewinsky.

any racing game i guess, NON-violent even cuts out all the RTS games, which sucks.

Tried CMR3 yet? Better graphics, spiffy interface and more tracks, but no arcade mode.

 

[edmicman]

a sports game? madden or nhl?

 

[Jeraden]

Heh, good thing the efforts to get violence removed from video games hasn't worked - nobody can even think of anything worth playing that doesn't have violence in it!

 

[Fausto]

What about Superbike 2001? Good graphics, simple to play, non-violent, and fun.

yeah, it's great! but...only demo for PC so far, and it's only 1-2 players? That's what it says on ebgames...lame!

Um....I seem to have the full version....how'd that happen?

Actually, it supports up to 4 persons, but there's either no head-to-head racing or I'm just too stupid to have figured out how to enable it yet.
