My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

My daughter turns 4 soon and I already have an old PC for her birthday painted purple. She will learn the old ways, the ways of our people.

Please insert cd "2" to continue.

It was actually really embarrassing for me. I thought "We can play curse of Monkey Island. Those point and click adventures would be great for her!"

Literally an hour later Im looking up a walkthrough on google...

The only problem with Myst is once you know how to win, it’s trivial to win.

I buy it every time they re-release. They did a release a few years ago for VR in Unreal Engine 4 and are working on the same for Riven. I haven’t played it yet but it is supposed to have puzzle randomization so maybe it won’t be so easy now.

Best of luck! I remember giving my little brother his first PC - A Raspberry Pi 2 if I recall correctly.
