A friend of mine (80+ female) has never been introduced to a desktop PC before. I’d like to make the adoption as easy as possible, so the best choice in my opinion is to start with simple games to orient her with the mouse/keyboard.

Any good videogames suitable for seniors?

    Well. My father has yet to turn 80, but as a 60 year old he is rather fond of SimCity type games.

    But how approachable they are idk. Cuz my 'pa was always a generalised nerd. :P

    New to computers; solitaire seriously.

    Getting used to using a mouse; Coffee Talk, a nice little story game based on dialogue options and a very simple espresso machine operated by mouse clicking on labelled buttons.

    To get used to first person mouse navigation I’d recommend Gone Home. It’s about exploring a house filled with environmental story telling. No fail states or challenges.
