The following was posted to another listserv by a Mom. It's a great idea and
sounds terrific. I know that handwriting is one of the most common comorbid
issues for the boys with Aspergers that I diagnose at the office.

Hope this is helpful to folks.

Amazon.com Product Description

Scribblenauts is a unique single player side-scrolling action game for the
Nintendo DS that challenges players to solve spatially oriented puzzles like no
game before it. In it players use an in-game notepad/keyboard, as well as the
touch screen and stylus of the Nintendo DS, to conjure up solutions to the
obstacles placed in the path of the game's hero. Solutions are manifested in the
form of literally thousands of items--many very unexpected--that are called up
and take on a life of their own, resulting in puzzle-solving that is limited
only by the player's imagination.

Gameplay
Based around 2D side-scrolling action and word play, the premise of
Scribblenauts is simple; quite literally, anything you write, you can use and
reuse in the game. Players use the DS' touch-screen and the in-game
notepad/keyboard to help their character, Maxwell, as he moves throughout 220
increasingly difficult levels on his never-ending quest for the star-like
"Starites.." But it is not as easy as reaching up and plucking a Starite.
Attaining them requires Maxwell to solve spatially oriented puzzles. To do this
players describe objects via the notepad/keyboard, which in turn appear on the
game screen and facilitate the starite making its way to Maxwell. There are
literally thousands of items in the game, both utilitarian like ladders, ropes,
cars and buses, to the outlandish items, such as invisibility cloaks, pirates
and black holes. There are time limits on levels, as well as a limitation to the
number of items that can be used per level. But regardless of these
restrictions, the game is all about experimentation, imagination and endless
replay value as players open their minds to the nearly limitless possibilities
that are sure to make Scribblenauts unlike any side-scrolling platformer they
have ever played.
