gaarg Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 So, my mom has been playing solitaire poker the last few months and I asked her if she wanted to play something new and better and she went yes. So I started thinking that there are like a million games out there, but I never played any of those sunday ones, that are basically made for housewives. Can you suggest some for me? She is not too bright a person, but not stupid either. She clicks really slow, so no action. She probably hates violence and porn so don't go there... It would be better if it was a standalone game then a browser one, though it's not that big a problem. Thanks.

murve33 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, if solitaire card games are her thing Solitude for Windows is pretty amazing. It contains 91 solitaire games. (I haven't verified the link, but I have played the game in the past). http://solitude-for-windows.softwareandgames.com/ My favorite is "Bowling Solitaire", which was made by big-name board game developer Sid Sackson.

mcbpete Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 It might be a little too leftfield but only requires slow clicking and logic skills rather than any prior knowledge or quick reflexes - Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

gaarg Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Murveman, I'd like her to go outside cars for a while, thanks. mcbpete, too complex, also she doesn't understand english except for few words, so that's another restraint there. Pennywise, good idea bro, I'll check if there a re any with no time restraint.

Guest Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 your mom seems similar to my mom re mouse clicking / english skillz. 20 years ago, my mom was really good at Tetris on my Gameboy.

So my suggestion is, get her an original Nintendo Gameboy with Tetris. My mom, after I left home, took my original Gameboy with Tetris (I bought it on launch) and played the crap out of it, all the way up until she passed away. She loved Tetris, and played it on my old NES, Gameboy Advance SP, and later on emulators on my Mac. Tetris is a good game for older people since it keeps your reflexes sharp and keeps your mind engaged. You might also consider Shanghai, Su Do Ku, or Othello/Reversi.

Guest abracadabra Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Your mom sounds like my mom, Gaarg. She plays some shitty online games that she links to through MSN or something. She also plays some Mahjongg game. Last time I visited her, I let her borrow my tablet, and she played this game called Pudding Monsters. She now wants me to buy her a tablet.
