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'm sorry, I couldn't tell you. The back of the box says it works with leapfrog tablets leappad1, leappad2, and leappad ultra; and with leapster explorer and leapstergs. I looked up the explorer and TS and neither look like the one you linked to me. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

No, you need a LeapFrog Explorer (1 or 2) or any of the LeapPads. I'd get the Ultra if I was buying something new.

We haven't opened ours yet. But I think if you go to LeapFrog . Com they will have the answer for you there.

I just bought a LeapPad2 and a Leapster Explorer, I was looking at games on Amazon and when I search LeapPad 2 games, it gives me all explorer options. Before I place my order, will Explorer games work for LeapPad2?? Thanks

Although I don't have this ebook it should be compatable with the Leappad 1. Leapfrog has thus far allowed all games to be compatable across the different devices.

I agree with H. Sexton, Jr. I just got my 7 yr old a DS to replace his Leapster. It was awesome! It is all educational. I've only found 2 educational games for his level so far on DS. He reads on a 4th grade level and is in G&T; and I am having a hard time finding educational games. If you want ed- I'd go to the Leapster. Hope this helps!

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

Yes. You can play this game like the first. Just don't use the dragons, make a wake to stay on the board.

My three yr old daughter got a LEAPSTER for her 3rd Christmas. And she did quit well with it and has played the older games. She is now 4 and doing math. So I think they are very age apporiate IF used with learning games. It takes them awhile to figure it all out but she played what she could with the pre-k games. (coloring, shapes, take care of pets, etc.)

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.

No the LeapTop is for learning letters and vocabulary. For learning numbers I bought the LeapFrog Count & Draw.

I got this game system for my son when he was 4. He was not yet in school but getting ready for preschool. He loved it myself as well. I loved watching him learn new things and answer the questions he already knew. He had the leapster explorer and the leapster 2 way before he got the Nintendo ds and Wii. He wanted all the games so we got him as many as we could including Tangled . He played it and just like the other games he learned from it. We also found out the store Five and Below carries tons of Leapster Explorer games for $5 not the $20 you pay in a reg. Store. But I highly recommend this game especially for a 7 year old girl. Hope this helps.

No only the leapsters. The cartridge is to big to fit. I know because I own both.

My son is 2 1/2. I bought him the Leapster TV Learning System. He can play that really well since the controls are bigger. Check the games though since for many you need to be able to recognize letters, numbers, etc. His favorite is the Cars one. My daughter (5 years old) has the Leapster L-Max & was 3 1/2 when we got it. It took her several months to get good at it. (The new Leapster comes out this week)

As far as I know, it does not. Both of my grandsons have a Leapster and love it. I am not an expert on what the Leapster is compatible with, so perhaps I should have answered "don't know." Sorry that I'm not more helpful.

Yes. Explorer games are compatible with the leap pad. Earlier models (leapster, leapster 2) are not compatible. Hope this helps.

I know you can on the Leap Pad, but not sure about Leap Pad 2. Sorry that I couldn't be more help to you.
