I know this is a little outside the normal scope of things here, but I need some help.
(w/o going into too much unnecessary details...)
My disabled father (who got me 'into' computers and gaming) is now well-on in age, and in poor health, with declining cognitive abilities.
He used to love games like Red Faction, Halo, Homefront, and even FTL. However, his neuropathy and 'dexterity issues' along with being more-easily confused makes a lot of games requiring precise mouse movements and strategy, painful.
From having friends w/ aging grandparents, I'm aware how important mental exercise and engagement is to slow-down cognitive decline and stave off depression.
Basically, I'm looking for PC games that are older/low-spec w/ moderate to low complexity (and reading) with, no need of precise mouse movements.
suggestions for an affordable controller/HID might be appreciated but, anything 'new' (from his PoV) has a tendency to stress him out.
He's most-used to using a mouse, even if it does cause him pain.
Here are his (relevant) system specs:
[Asus CSM barebones PC]
i7-4770T
32GB DDR3
GeForce 1050ti
I'm not looking for condolences,
I'd just like to see my Dad a lil happier and not stuck watching 'TV' that's purposefully-made to stress him out and manipulate him.
(On the lighter-hearted side of things
At the very least, I'm looking for something somewhat nostalgic to keep him distracted from the targeted advertisements (he keeps ordering )
