You might want to ask in the Games recommendation thread, because everyone is a comedian around here. Anyway Detective Grimoire is a good and approachable adventure game.

The entire point of GoG is to make old games function on modern computers, so it should work. Myst isn't a good game though, I'd grab that new Sherlock game over Myst.

I read lots of reports of it being completely busted on 64bit windows 7 systems so I never ended up buying it. I will check out the new sherlock game though, do you know the name of it?

My dad keeps playing these browser-based kingdoms games that he found in a banner ad on the pirate bay. And he told me that some one was raiding the bases around him and they sent him a warning message "You better watch out.." and also he told me hes not hip to chatting online with strangers.

That reminds me of a party I was at with my buddy's family. One of his uncles spent the entire party talking about a browser game like that and how some other dude was a cheater for spending X amount of money to buy all the best stuff. He kept asking people to help him look up cheat codes for it on the internet so he could beat this guy.

My sister got hospitalized a couple of days ago, and I sent my PSP loaded with movies and audio books and things to her so she'd have some entertainment. Said PSP is also loaded with Persona 3 Portable in the UMD drive. I'm considering various ways to sell her the idea of trying out this glorious RPG from Nippon. How would you guys make Persona 3 seem interesting to a non-gaming person?

Anyway, I would say be careful about recommending her any of the freemium games like Candy Crush because I've known people who got extremely addicted and dropped tons of money on it.
