Wait until your little one starts to recognize popular video game characters and share an interest with you. That will really put a smile on your face.

Also - I dont' have any pictures - but I will represent that my three-year-old daughter's favorite games are, in no particular order:

* fighting monsters (Dragon Quest IX)
* flying princess (Nights: Journey of Dreams)
* robot dancing (Space Channel 5)
* the puppy dog game (Okamiden)

A few months ago I brought my Saturn to my grandparent's house, since that's were my six, seven, and twelve year old cousins live. The six-year-old boy loved Daytona, even when he kept losing.
A few weeks ago I brought the Sega Genesis collection, and the youngest ones loved Golden Axe and Sonic. They both already loved Sonic, but I'm suprised that Alex (the seven-year-old girly girl) would love bashing peoples' heads in.
Insert clever quote here.

Here's my 5 year old putting in some time with Vectorman on the Genesis.

He's pretty much adept at most types of games. But mostly prefers platformers and the beat-em-up's.

My wife found a new use for my Exertainment Bikes when my son's cousin came over to play the other day.

Also wish I would have snapped a pic of my son playing Wrecking Crew on the NES. He was having a blast!
