Because Charles got a Nintendo DS for his birthday, Mom got a couple of Nintendo Gameboy games for Alice, who inherited the Gameboy from Charles (who got it from Corwin). This happened just before the trip to the Big City, so Alice got her first chance to really play in the van driving up. Unfortunately, both games required basic literacy in that key elements of the game would be explained by text messages that popped up the first time that element was required. At first this made Alice upset, until Dad tried to help. That was enough to convince Alice that just watching the introduction and running around on the first section was sufficient fun. She ended up spending several hours at it on the trip without, as far as we know, getting much past that. I suspect that she’s motivated more by imitating her brothers than actual enjoyment. Still, she has formed a strong emotional attachment to the Gameboy and will become very distressed if she thinks it has been misplaced.
