I just got a Megatouch Maxx Ruby 2. When I look at the Game Description pdf
off of Merit's site it lists a couple kid's games for the Ruby 2 (Kid's
Kolortime, Switcheroo, and Kids Photo Hunt) I've been in the games menu and
enabled all games but I can't find these. Is there something I'm missing or
is Merit's documentation wrong? Thanks.

I have a saphire thats the same way. no kids games and I wasn't able to
find them in the setup menus.

Possible, maybe you need to have the Force versions to get these games.

Don't forget that there are different Megatuoch software versions for
different states. Some states have regulations forbidding some games.

I can see some states not allowing the erotic games but not allowing the
kids games would be strange.

The weird thing is that the pdf file on their site lists the kids games as
new games for the Ruby 2. I guess I'll have to contact them to see if they
can shed some light on it.

By the way. Any tips on getting rid of the smoke smell at are on these
things?

Please email me on the kids games, I would love to know.

As far as the smoke, no easy way, complete disassembly and deep cleaning.
Actually painting the inside of the cabinet will help alot. Also replace
all the fans.

A dryer sheet (Bounce) will do wonders.

Not that I have had one to try it, but I think you sometimes need to disable
the erotic games to get the kid games to be on there. At least that is what
I have heard.

I have a Megatouch Maxx Sapphire 2 and it has the kid games. What you
have to do in the game options menu is both enable the kids games and
turn off the erotic games. If the kids games are enabled they will not
appear if the erotic games are enabled. E-mail me if you have more
questions because I have a new keg of Guinness at my house and it's New
Years Eve, and I hope this post makes sense.

I don't see any place in the menus to enable kids games. I did disable the
erotics though. Another question. Did they get rid of Funky Monkey?

I'll have to check the options menus later. Funky Monkey is still on
mine, although Three Blind Mice was replaced by 3-Some. I'll check the
menus on mine when I get home and post.

I talked to the tech and he said that the kid ganes are on the Force
platform not the Maxx. Which is weird since someone on here says they are on
their Sapphire. Are you saying your Ruby 2 has Funkey Monkey or do you have
a different version? If it's there what group is it in on the gamesetup
menu?

I have (2) Megatouch Maxx Sapphire 2s and I swear they both have the
kids games unless I have two copies of some super rare version. I'll
give you the details later when I get home. I also have Funky Monkey
which is on the strategy or puzzle section. I'll also get that for
you. I can check this week about the Ruby 2 software since I bought
one for my mother in law and I can check at her house. I would guess
Merit's game list is incorrect because if I remember correctly, it
lists Card Bandits also being on the Ruby 2 software which is also
incorrect.

OK, I looked at my Maxx Sapphire 2. Funky Monkey is in the Puzzles
category. The kids club is accessed by 1) pressing the setup button
next to the callibrate button 2) Selecting Games from the main menu 3)
Selecting Options in the games menu 4)Selecting Enable Kids Club
Category in the options menu. I can not understand why the merit tech
would say that it was only available for Force games. If you want more
proof, I guess I could provide a screen shot.
I just downloaded and looked at the latest game description sheet
from the Merit site and I believe it is incorrect. Like I thought, it
states that Card Bandits was included on the Ruby 2 software and I know
that it was added for the Sapphire release especially since it is also
listed in the Sapphire New Games category. I hope this helps.

the kids club is in the maxx models, but not all the games are there. I bet
kids photo hunt and the kids coloring games are missing.

Kids Photo Hunt is there, but I don't see the coloring game. What is
it called?

switcheroo and kids color time.

I have a megatouch saphire 2 maxx I as far as I can tell, I don't have
either of the above games or kids photo hunt (not that it really matters).
