The latter -- and getting to sleep on a regular schedule wasn't really a challenge in my situation. We did consistently start it at a certain hour, though.. so it would be, say, 7pm to 830pm and then start the bedtime rituals.

Would you change your rules if your kids showed interest in developing actual computer skills? My parents had rules similar to yours and wouldn't budge, and it effectively killed a decade of potential programming experience. I still resent them for it to a point, but I realize they were just ignorant and thought learning to program was equivalent to playing, because I was at the age they thought I was supposed to be playing.
Just... try to avoid making your kids be something they're not, in general.
