Computer games
Watch this postI am new here. Thought I would drop in and see if anyone can suggest things to do on the computer for over 60's I love hidden object games and my favourites are Letters from Nowhere 1 and 2 but I have played them to death ! Difficult to find ones as good I have tried doing my family tree but didn't get very far ( not that interested to be honest) and found it very time consuming to get not very far I am female, married, I knit, read and do crosswords but would like to broaden my horizon. All suggestions welcome

I also play an online scrabble game called Lexulous, which is great. You can play against a machine or a friend or an anonymous opponent.
These will certainly keep the brain cells active. I have them on my ipad and find it makes plane journeys pass in double quick time - but expect a few frustrations along the way.
If you decide to try them I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
In the meantime I'll take a look at Letters from Nowhere.
I have to admit though, that if I want relax for an hour or so, I just have to go play golf against Tiger Woods on the PS3 which my lads left behind!!!
I've completed both in the past and am now partially into The Room again. However, I'm stuck and have been for three days. It's certainly a game you can play a second time unless you have a phenomenal memory.
Think I'll go back to Pinball for awhile.
