Hi Guys,

As a guy in his mid 50's I find most of todays games a bit too hard for me to play.

But as a computer sales person of the 1980's I enjoyed looking at and trying to play some of the early games.

But unfortunatley I lost them all on my old 386 computer.

Because now I have my grandson who is 5 and my father who is just getting into his computer I would like to try to aquire some old games. That are easy to play.

Here is a list of them

Leisure Suit Larry 1
Police Quest 1
Battle Of Britain
Grand Prix
Grand Prix Motorcyles

Or any other easy flying games for my father.

Or any good platform games like Mario Brothers fro my grandson

Of course they will need to run on a modern machine.

If anyone has these that they would share with me I would be very greatful.

Kind Regards
