Something that wasn't overly complicated and FUN to give him that boost to sit and try it. I think the picture of my dad sitting at the computer using it for the first time with Mom and I helping, and the baby just drooling on everything he could, is a picture I'll certainly remember for a long time. I suppose sometimes we twentysomethings forget that our parents didn't grow up with computers the same way we did. They aren't aware of who Mario is, or Pacman. It can be frightening to delve into new technology you've never encountered before.
Some people never do, and that's sad, since computers are such a big part of the world nowadays.
Sometimes all it takes is a push in the right direction. I don't know if my dad will begin using the computer on a regular basis, but at least now he doesn't have to feel as nervous around one. Graphics are good, sound and characters are fun, gameplay is excellent. Lots of places to explore and the plot is a good one too. We'd like to include reader submitted stories in a future editorial.
