It could have to do with 3D models. It seems as if your father doesn't play anything that is detailed. My mother is 44 and since I was young she'd play Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, and Pac Man. During the fifth generation she would play Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, but she didn't like Super Mario 64, because controlling the camera became too complicated for her. She has the most fun with 2D platforms it seems. The easier it is to pick up and play, the more she likes it. If she has to multi-task and control the camera she doesn't like it at all, and even says it makes her sick. The last game we played together was NSMBWii, and she had a blast with it and enjoyed the updated 2D graphics even, saying it was vibrant and colorful. I hadn't gotten Donkey Kong Country: Returns until after I left for college, but I'm sure if we were to play it she'd enjoy that as well.
