Does the leapster Explorer include any games in the package besides the ones you can buy separately

There are games included in the package they are downloaded to the explorer when you install the software. I forgot how many exactly but it's not a lot and they are fairly simplistic mini games. I think one of them is jewel train. They give you a list to choose from it can either be games or books. The games you purchase are more complex. Overall a very good system for young children. The get the sensation of video game play with a little learning as well. Hope this helps

No. Since this product was put on the market, there has been several upgraded versions to compete with other companys offering more value for the money. You should research other options first. My child loved this but quickly outgrew it and hit became very costly to purchase cartridges and all of the accesories.

Not unless you purchase a bundle. It usually comes with a card of $5 or $10 (I can't remember which) worth to buy an app from the online store. However, you can't purchase any of the full games with that amount. You can purchase a mini game or a story. Hope this helps.

It included I believe one or two mini games or apps. The full games are sold separately on cartridges or buy downloading from leapfrog's website for the same price as the cartridge (approx. $25 each)

Hi! We never had an original Leapster Explorer and its recharger station. But original and new Explorer rechargers are totally different, so you can not interchange two... :( New Explorer GS uses 2 packs of 2 rechargeable batteries which are charged through AC adapter.

Yes, all Leapster Explorer game cartridges work with the LeadPad technology.

I purchased from Amazon a Star Wars game for my grandson for the old Leapster. If you have an updated new version game system I am not sure then but usually if you click on the game it will tell you what system it is friendly with. Hope this helps:)

see: http://shop.leapfrog.com/leapfrog/jump/View-All-Downloadable-Apps/category/cat950005some games can be downloaded cheaper than buying the cartridge. but - they take up memory on your leapster then.

I don't remember exactly, since I ordered it for my brother, but I do remember it comes with two games I think. One was "Where's My Water?" and I don't remember what the other one was.

My four year old grandson received an L-max Leapster for Christmas. It also came with tv cables. He can play the portable game by himself or take turns playing with his friends. He can plug the game into the TV to see it bigger and play it easier with his friends.

The Leapster explorer, Leapster explorer GS, as well as the Leapster explorer leappads 1 and 2 all take the same cartridges. With the excepetion of the leappad 1 we have all listed above between 4 boys. Any of the explorer games are comapatable with explorer devices :)

Most likely not from what I understand and have read the leapster and leapPad games are not compatible

The LeapPad1 and LeapPad2work with the entire Leapster Explorer library of game cartridges and digital apps, with the exception of the Photo Mania app.Game cartridges labeled Leapster Explorer, LeapFrog Explorer, Explorer or LeapPad Explorerwill work with the LeapPad. Some digital apps are only designed for LeapPad1 and LeapPad2and cannot be used with Leapster Explorer - theseapps are designed to take advantage of the LeapPad's larger screen, motion sensor and microphone and so are not able to be played on Leapster Explorer.

Hey there Happy Momma. From what I know, you cannot use the Leapster Explorer recharger station with the LeapsterGS. You would need to get the recharging battery station specifically made for the LeapsterGS.

All games marked for the Explorer / Explorer GS / LeapPad / LeadPad 2 are interchangeable. We have an Explorer and a LeapPad 2 and have ~6 game cartridges for the Explorer that my son uses in his new LeapPad 2 with no issues. You can also download and install Leapster Connect on your computer and buy games online to download directly onto any of the 4 devices listed above. This way you don't have to worry about losing cartridges.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Honestly, I don't remember how many games it came with, but it came with some. I bought it for my grandnephews last year and they are very young, so they don't need additional learning materials right now. I do hope that helps.

we own the original leapster but from any knowledge that ive had I am about 90% sure they made the leapster two so it can still play all the old games. but a leap pad and leapster are two different components all together so a leapster2 yes a leap pad im gonna say no.

I dont think so. I bought one of the leapster games for my daughter and it didnt fit in the LeapPad. The leapster game cartridges are much bigger than the leappad ones.

yes, as the game you can purchase off the Leap Frog site, as you need to set up a free account to register and down load the first software, have game for 7 years plus, I purchase all my daughters games from there, and you can add a learn portfolio to monitor their learn, as you down load the games straight to their pad. hope this helps Margaret
