Just wondering if anyone has one of those nintendo dsi xl things with brain training on them.
Thought it might be a useful travel game but don't know much about them.

Hi Pam
I can recommend these, really easy to use and lots of options. Like a high tech puzzle book.

Hey Pam, just letting you know that I have bought one for hubby for his birthday coming up - he loves Sudoko and I managed to get the game for that. Will get other games etc down the track.

I got one for Christmas from my husband and thoroughly enjoy it. I have the crosswords and sudoku. We sell at a market in SA and it passes the time for me as well as keeping my mind active.

When it comes to techie stuff I don't consider myself to be a Luddite in any way, but for crosswords and Sudoku I prefer pencil and paper (and a rubber, most essential). I'm hopeless at cryptic crosswords, also crosswords that involve a knowledge of celebrities and sportspeople etc.

Hi again Pam,

Just thought I would mention that on looking at the pull-out for the Brisbane Caravan & Camping Show this coming weekend, thee is an exhibitor listed as 'Nintendo Grey Nomad' - not sure what it's about, but if I can get away from hubby for a few minutes I will check it out and let you know next week.

Can't afford the Nintendo, but got a mail-order catalogue today, that has a smaller one, [about the size of a Blackberry] that runs on Batteries, for around $40. Rang Dick Smith, and they have similar priced ones. I'll be getting one of those.

Cheers,
Sheba.

I hope to get one one day but will stick to the sudoku, kakuro puzzles with pencil and rubber a little longer. Interesting to read all the responses. Thats what is great about this site. All the different input.

Have been using my nintendo for about 6 months now and have got both Brain training and More brain training and two crossword programmes.  Helps to fill in time occasionally. smile
