So i have an uncle who had an accident and mentaly is stuck as a child, and unfortunately was unable to learn the alpfabet, he knows a few symbols but anything longer then three letters/numbers in a row is to much nor does he speak English.

oh and he has trouble with one hand so holding a gamepad is not really an option Sad found that out the hard way when i gave him an older console alltough never considered the wiii, might give that try but as said needs really simple game and wii ui is really horrible.

he loves however driving his lawnmower bike thingy, and i was thinking if i can get him an older pc with a steering wheel, but it would have to be some kind of open world game, experience at the touch of a single button (executable/batfile)

Anyone have any suggestions ? I was thinking of farming simulater haha but no idea if he would be able to figure all that stuff out and i never had a driving wheel to configure before

Angry Birds may work.

Sorry, can't think of anything else.

Peggle?

Otherwise, any old NFS game? Those can be played one handed even just with a keyboard.

Any casual games that can support driving wheel (Wii has one?) seem like the best choice. So I guess Mario Kart?

All the LEGO games? Batman Lego, LOTR Lego, Star Wars Lego, ...

Obviously "simple/minimalistic" games like Angry Birds and such...

Also try some free Indie games like Bit.Trip Runner and such...

What about MarioKart-like games like BangBangRacing or F1 Race Stars?

There is so so many enjoyable and safe games suitable for kids...


The lego games? They need some combination work and team work... Yes you might have infinite lives and so on, but you WILL get stuck if you can't solve the puzzles Smile

Edit: The diner dash game series?

Maybe Minecraft. I have a co-worker whose son is 6 years old, doesn't speak English and can't read properly and he still has a lot of fun with Minecraft.

Honestly, most games now that are rated teen or even mature can be played by 8-10 year olds. I have two nephews at that age they can kick ass at Call of Duty.

+1.

Also, the best way to start learning English is playing games in English...
