I'd like to get my sons (age 10 and 8) programming, but the only hook
that I think will get them started is the ability to make a kinda cool
game.

Ideally, I'd like to see a tutorial that leads them down the path of
making a starter non-lame game. A specific example I've found, for
Flash-based games, is at the KongregateLabs site:
http://www.kongregate.com/labs

Can PyGame achieve the same thing? Are there any existing tutorials or
projects that cover similar material?

More thoughts at
http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/z2008-12-23-WebGamePlatformContest

playing the game in a web browser? (no, pygame can't do that)

SVG graphics? (It's possible with the help of PyOpenGL - see http://pygame.org/project/962/)

Just making the exact same game? (Yes, I myself could remake that game in pygame in a single weekend)
