My 6-year-old likes Little Computer People by Activison. The screen shows a 
picture of a house with a little man and a dog who walk around and do everyday
things like eat, sleep, take a bath, play the piano, etc. The interactive part
is that you can type in commands like "Play a game" (He plays 5 different games
with the user, like Anagrams, Blackjack, and 3 others), "brush your teeth",
"play the piano", "feed the dog", etc. If you ask him to type a letter, he sits
down at the typewriter, and writes a personal letter to the user, like "Dear
Josh, I am not thirsty anymore since you filled the water jug. Signed, Bill".
The kids sit for (it seems like) hours just watching what he will do next.
