Perhaps Wii fit then. They could take it a bit easier with that!

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF FRIEND CODE:- 5129 1175 1029. MESSAGE ME.
ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Endless Ocean.

If you're looking through old threads, ignore this. I'm using this as a holding area for a new post.

 

Seal of approval (Yep, this one checks out alright. It's the real deal. It is true to its adventure roots.)

Warning: Puzzle game disguised as an adventure game

Warning: May play out like an interactive movie (which is okay if you like that sort of thing)

Warning: Could be classed as a hidden object game

Brain training a great idea! Would mario and Sonic at the olympics be too much for them?

I think the running could give them a heart attack!

 

That is so messed up.

But I agree with Lurker. Endless Ocean would be good.

Yeah, my Dad loves to fish, but I am kind of stuck on what type of fishing game to get him. I figure I will pick up Wii Play + remote and go from there. Hard to make a call on the Rapala game, but the Sega Bass game look like it reviewed decently.

 

You can fish in Zelda!



~Currently Playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank: FTOD, and Resistance: Retribution~

I was half joking, but with the rapid motions you have to make for the running, especially the 100m, it could be very overwhelming, physically, for an elderly person. A situation could arise, in which cardiac arrest could occur.  Now I don't know the shape the OP's parents are in, probably better than most old people as they play golf, but this is a possibility, which one should keep in mind.

So...WiiFit, THEN Mario & Sonic?

I never thought of that, but that might just work :P
