my mother (boomer) did and still does, but refuses to admit it. she absolutely loved grim fandango, the monkey island series, quest for glory, kings quest and space quest, pretty much anything sierra or lucasarts. i keep trying to get her to dip her toe into some walking simulators or something with some decent story (i bet she'd love horizon zero dawn, one of my brothers was all in on dinosaurs) but she's just playing bejeweled now.

I'm sad I could never convince my mom to keep gaming beyond the arcade games of her youth and bejeweled and the like. I sincerely think she would have loved roguelites. My father never was a gamer but did try golf games, and I tried to convince him to try strategy games but never did, I still think he'd love 4xes

the one game i've found most everyone enjoys is stardew valley, but i have not tried with my mother yet.
