My vote goes to Jetpac. The couple of times I played Lunar Jetman I pulled the power socket after ten minutes out of sheer frustration.
Jetpac has good gameplay and gradually gets tougher. Lunar Jetman is just too @#$% tough. -

I have spoted that boys and girls play often different kind of game: action, adventure and, maybe obviously, combat game for the boys and more puzzle, tetris and platform game for the girl.
