Why does the 90-year-old want to try video games now? As the user Castigafagiani reports on Reddit, his grandfather has always laughed off the passion for video games of his grandson and his brother. The two were raised by their grandfather for their hobby, and he even took away their Game Boys.
However, at the age of 90, the grandfather is said to have suddenly experienced a change of heart. He realized that it is not just “a phase of youth,” but video games still accompany his two grandsons. Furthermore, the elderly man has read news about video games. That is why he is now asking his grandson what he can play as his first game.
The grandson passes the question on to the Reddit community. According to him, although his grandfather is 90 years old, he has the mind of a 30-year-old. In the forum, there are numerous recommendations that the grandfather could enjoy in the future.
The first game for a 90-year-old grandfather
What is he recommended? The top comment suggests that the grandfather should try Tetris. His own grandfather would also love Tetris. It is one of the most well-known classic games, where blocks must be stacked as efficiently as possible.
The creator of the thread finds it “unironically good,” so we can assume that he will recommend Tetris to his grandfather.
Another user asks what interests the grandfather has. Since the 90-year-old is said to love good wine, he receives this humorously meant suggestion: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. After all, one of the characters is also a walking sack full of wine.
In addition, there are further recommendations that are not always meant to be taken seriously:
- Ilymbass recommends a relaxing game: “Journey. Excellent first game for everyone.”
- mikebe1 thinks a card game is a good idea: “I agree with the suggestion of Balatro if he likes cards. It’s easy to get into and doesn’t require reflexes.”
- slashgamer11 wants to put the grandfather to the test: “Elden Ring. Eat or be eaten, grandpa.”
Moreover, there are many more suggestions that could really suit the grandfather. The post actually has over 1,200 comments.
