I am not 8 years old anymore, so I cannot say what your son would
like but should be suitable for your computers.  I personally like
atris & xpuzzletama, my sister likes xjewel more -- all three are
tetris like in one way or other.

Oh, there is also koth (& scorched3D) which takes^Wtests patience &
aiming skills.  I remember a Mac version (around 1994-1997) being
not so hard.
