If you allow your young ones to dabble in Internet gaming, you know how easy it is for curious fingers to stray from an innocent Flash game to a potentially kid-inappropriate site full of ads and other horrors. Aimed at players ages 6 to 11, Tiger Electronics' NET JET system ($24.99) offers an arcade-style gaming experience in a kid-safe online environment: no ads, no links to unsafe sites, and no ability to play without the proprietary USB controller.

The basic system includes a key to unlock four games in the NET JET arcade, but additional keys ($14.99) unlock four new games each -- from Mission: Paintball and Peak Performance Snowboarding to Nickelodeon- and Cartoon Network-licensed titles such as Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends: Buggin' Out (pictured above). PC and high-speed Internet access required.
