Gaming My Grandma is getting into gaming (serious post)

[kazekun]

Alright my grandma is getting into pc gaming, i helped her to learn everything i could in the pc, wich was hard, pretty hard, shes very into games like bomberman, and supermario got her those 2 alredy, what games should i get for her ? Adventure games like supermario would be helpfull, and have to be something extremly simple, so she can open it, play it without constantly calling me -_- thx

serious post is serious.

Just a heads up, Super Mario is a Platformer, not Adventure. Adventure would be like King's Quest or Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.

Also, Megaman 2

BLACK OPS

nhe, tryed to make her play sims 1, and thatt was hard for her XD so i think black ops is out of question, want some shit, so she doesnt call me every fucking minute

i personally find this really cool. adults who put real effort to get into gaming are respected by me. especially if they are doing it to bond with their kids more and what not.
this did not happen to me btw sadly. my mom just plays Zuma all night long

Show her ScummVM and games like the Monkey Island Series, and the Sam and Max and Broken Sword series.

This SNES platformer in which you are a big headed kid and you stomp with your head. I don't remember the name but it was awesome.


OH YEAH.

Bonk. Well, Super Bonk, it's more colorful.

i am surprised you haven't showed her tetris or bejeweled (most simplest game you can play), and she can't play sims? scandalous!

You are not a gamer until you play Syobon action

 

[dills2]

get her some simple indie games

 

[DeadLocked]

minecraft /thread
But leave her a crafting recipe sheet if she's not that tech savvy like my grandparents. (I mean, they wouldnt be able to find something specific on google.)

ScummVM - That's what i said!

 

[kazekun]

i did try make her play tetris and bejeweled she discarted them right away, as for games like monkey island

cant really do, mostly because of languague, our main isnt english, so i cant have her a thinking game mostly in english, the zuma game seems pretty cool for her to try, and indee games is really what i have been searching for her, no stuff on snes tough, i dont want her calling everytime she messes up with emulators, i tought about sonic tough

wonder if her eyes, gona be able to keep up.

Try one of the 10 million hidden object games available on the PC. Old biddies dig that shit.

+1. More puzzle types might be good for her.

Zuma and Ricochet. Great casual games to pass some time.

You grandma likes Super Mario? That is very cool.

 

[Juanmatron]

Play with her New Super Mario Bros. Wii to show her the true power of gaming.

Left 4 Dead.
