They are making games for retirees

AARP.com has a long list of games, and all the leaderboards resets everyday at midnight.

My grandma, who has dementia, and severe arthritis, has an alarm to get up at midnight to go play the games so she can be #1. Every night. She loves being #1.

She's 82 years old. Just broke her hip for the 3rd time, and she asked if we can bring her laptop so she can play her games.
