So, I build an old PC for my grandfather, and want to put some games in it. What games do you recomend me for my granfather. I remember he used to play Silver Pinball and Epic Pinball.
Do you know any more pinball games or "easy" games?

Oh man.

My parents were hooked on these two games. They scored BILLIONS.

Does he like anything like chess or cards or mahjongg? I'm sure you can find that sort of thing on DOS.

Also probably some pornographic text adventures, some of those don't really have puzzles so they're very easy. Would he have trouble typing with one hand though? I don't know if he has arthritis or anything like that.

Play Monkey Island 2 right fucking now. The wit, the charm, and the humor make it one of my favorite games of all time. And the iMuse music engine needs to be experienced to believe

Just ask him, and don't limit yourself to "easy" games either. Odds are, he might've played some flight sims or the AD&D Gold Box games back in the day.

I didn't like it much. I preferred Day Of The Tentacle and Sam & Max.

Kek. It's just that I remember some of the puzzles to be a little... oblique. It's been ages since I played it so I can't give details but I suppose that means I should give it another try.
