Do the games from the orginal Leapster play on this one?

No, you need to buy leapster explorer games, which also work with the new leappad tablets.

They're still not available and there's no information as to when they'll be available. Since the new Leapsters have come out, I'm starting to think that they're no longer supporting this product. The recharging system is on "backorder" and there haven't been any new L-Max games in years (even though you can use the Leapster games as well, their website says they won't show as well on the tv).

We do not have that one , so I do not know. It only works on my daughters original leapster.

Get the DS. If your kids are already playing the Wii, they will be probably be bored with the kids stuff on the Leapster. There are TONS of games available for the DS. Many are very simple for young children (Crayola Treasure Adventure), then there are lots of adult oriented games (Brain Age, Professor Layton, etc). .. Then there are lots of games in the middle for all ages.

Yes. Says various facts. I believe there are also games they can play. My 8-year-old loves it.

I dont think so. It runs on batteries or you can buy the adapter for when you are stationary. But here is the thing. These are obsolete now so you can get games. Alsp. they dont last long. I have invested a lot in games over the past ten years between two kids. So it was worth it for me to re-invest in this leapster but i have bought three units because they only last about two years. I would go explorer system or the leap pad system

Hi yes it does my son has one and it plays all his old games. Of course not with the motion control like the new games but with the joystick and buttons.

If your green leapster is a Leapster Explorer, then yes. If it's anything other than a Leapster Explorer then I don't know.

Yes. The games listed for the LeapPad will work with any of the LeapPad systems, the LeapPad, LeapPad2, LeapPad2 Power, or LeapPad 2 Ultra.

We haven't tested it out yet, it's for Christmas. But other games we bought in the past that said "(works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer)" have worked in the LeapPad 2. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

yes. as long as it is an "explorer" game , it works int he leappads (both 1 and 2 and that new one that just came out)

Yes, this game will work with the Leapster GS. You can purchase the cartridge or download the app from the app center. Here is the wording from Leapfrog:" Works with LeapPad1™ & LeapPad2 learning tablets and Leapster Explorer™ & LeapsterGS game systems."

It only works with Leapster Explorer and up per the game. So, if it's not at least the explorer version, then it will not work with it. It's the thin chip that goes in the new versions.

I have a leapster gs and it works for that system! Honestly I now go to store to buy them. They r very misleading on what game system to use. Confused me! I'm am prob not a huge help but all that aside my 4 yr old loves this game!

I have a 3 1/2 yr old girl who loves her leapster!! She plays a few games (Diego & Dora also one of the Letter games for the LMax), but she mostly likes the game that comes installed in the game itself. I would say get him the game and let him learn. It IS leapster after all!! He'll love it!!

Yes, I think most games for the leapsters use a stylus. This one uses it a lot, to trace letters and such.

According to the details.....LeapFrog Pet Pals 2 Learning Game (works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer).
