Gregory,

A quick search through the ports reveals a packagage "gcompris", 
described as a "A simple Gnome-based education game for children 
starting at 3".  I have no idea if its any good, but thats what's there.
I didn't see anything...most nix based server OS's dont have many games :-)!


Win4Lin has NOT been ported to FreeBSD (or rather, FreeBSD cannot boot 
from a loopback filesystem which is how Win4Lin works).

FreeBSD can easily dual boot with Windows.

Good luck,

Matt
