of the kids. I have to play many of the my favorite after lights out: Silent
Hill, GTA, Resident Evil, etc - not very kid friendly. ;^)
As an aside we bought the boy a GameBoy SP for Christmas - he loves it
(although the games for his age group are sheer crap - why have a game aimed
at 4-6 year-olds with page after page of text?) I think it's ridiculous
that the system itself doesn't do an auto-pause when the cover is closed.
The thing could go to sleep (turn of the screen, processor, etc) and leave
the current game in memory for months until the juice finally drained
(although a small watch battery could extend that for more months).
It just seems that for a portable system Nintendo just didn't design it for
people that actually play on the go.
Glad to hear that some game designers are picking up the slack. but that
should have been a standard feature of the SP, I think.

I'm in the same boat. It took me about 7 months to finish FF:X because of
the kids. (Well, it's not their fault of course. ;) I'd love to start FF:X2
but I just can't see myself having enough time. That being said, now that I
have a GBA:SP I'm playing it a lot more. I can play while my wife watches
TV. The game I'm playing now, Fire Emblem, even does an auto save every
turn, so it's _very_ easy to pick up for a quick game.
