Question Of The Day: Which Game Would An Old Person Like?

Question Of The Day: Which Game Would An Old Person Like?

By old I mean old. Like, wrinkles and stuff. So let’s say 70+, because seventy is pretty old.

For me, old people should not play racing games, because well, if you’re 70 you shouldn’t drive. Old people are hazards on the road… Even in games.

I think CSI would be a good game for old people, because it’s (1) time consuming, and (2) you can’t really mess it up. There’s one simple story line and it’s like ‘click dialog to win’.

They always win.

Winning makes them feel good.

So, which game would an old person like?

Oh, don’t say old games ‘coz the players are old… That’s lame!

    they play OPG’s, Old Person Game, or for the more violent old people theres OPS, Old Person Shooters… example would be “Left 4 Dead in Bed” where old people fight out of a old age home where their grandchildren dumped them. :)
