This is a thread dedicated to all questions regarding parents. Mums or dads, step mums, step dads etc.
This is not a specific thread about a specific topic, just in regards to parents in general.

I have a question, I have a super boomer dad who is afraid of computers but I know he would just love playing very easy video games. Whenever he is at my house we play simple 'i spy' games. Can anyone recommend me boomer friendly games with a very minimal learning curve?

why would you do that to him? is his mobility limited and he needs a hobby? normally you would not want to give an older person a sedentary hobby like that, they need to stay active.

he works in trade, and is up very early and gets home very exhausted and goes to sleep early, he usually uses his downtime to just scroll reels and play with the cat. So I would like to put him onto a game because he is already so physically exhausted.

Maybe get him a simple old console (gameboy or nintendo ds) with simple mario games? or is that too advanced lol

I tried that, he said it was 'too much' for him lol he is more familiar with laptops and pc's so I would rather a game for him on there

Boomers like games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled in my experience. I have also known a boomer who enjoyed Plants vs. Zombies but I imagine based on what you wrote that your dad might find that too much to want to deal with.

he's extremely autistic in some sense, I think bejeweled and shit would be too 'basic' for him, I would rather a game that gets him thinking a little bit but not completely NPC mode

we need to lower the retirement age this just made me so depressed. a 60-78 year old man should not still be working a trade.

Bomberman games?

The Ace Attorney games are pretty comfy if he's not opposed to story heavy games? World of Goo is good if he's into puzzles. Stardew Valley for maximum relaxation.

Nta, The Rusty Lake series might have the elements you're looking for. A simple to play point and click game, but it's a puzzle game with crazy intricate plot and details, so far there are 15+ of these games and it's still going. It's also affordable if I'm not mistaken, and there's mobile and PC editions, some games are free on mobile but paid on PC though.

I can't wait for the day I have a daughter of my own, so that I will love her the way my mum loves me. I love my mum so much it makes me emotional at how much she endured throughout her life
