Syndicate Plus rocked

...and a couple of my other favs:
Interstate 76, Ultima 7, 8, maybe some hero's quest, crusader no remorse, system shock, blade runner

edit: also, Day of the Tentacle (maniac mansion 2)

hey, be sure to pick up tons of games from there. When I went to New Delhi, there is a place called Nehru Place. They have thousands of CD titles for like 4 bucks each. Everything from windows xp to xxx for windows. :)

Ive used zsnes on a 133mhz comp before so should be ok...I ended up getting most of the games in this thread plus a few more...kazaa was a big help and so were a buncha german sites. I also found a pack of 20 and another pack of 55 roms on kazaa so in the end i prolly got about a 100 games that should be more than enough for those kids.

get him an older console emulator (Nesticle, TurboGrafx, Sega, .....). They don't require much of anything to run them.
