I second the request for information. "Daddy, can I play the piano game"
has worn thin. I have the color/graphics board, so I'd also be interested
in reports on packages using its capabilities. The only things I've
seen advertised are the Spinnaker stuff and a disk called, I think,
Early Learning Package, which had no illustrations or information on
the outside of the package.

For character oriented games for the PC, get the "Friendlyware PC"
package from Friendlyware in Texas.  The only pointer I can give
you is the latest issues of Softalk for the IBM PC and PC magazine.
The package lists for $49 (discounted some places to $40) and includes
mostly strategy games.  It is recommended by the mags as a best buy,
though I haven't got it.

FW is now building a selection of arcade games that use character
graphics.
