Some kid is going to have a good time.

I bought the first two, and was waiting with dollars clenched in my sweaty fist to throw them at 3 as well. Makes me sad. I've still never played 3.

I read Space Vulture a few weeks ago, and it would be *perfect* for that age bracket. It was written to intentionally mimic the stereotype of 1930's sci-fi for young boys. It did a great job. Check out http://spacevulture.com/
