Either Betrayal at Krondor or Gabriel Knight. Depends on what day you ask her.

Hexen is a runner up, the Warrior's beefy arm did things to her that I don't want to think about.

I think my mom liked this game a lot too. She also had an Atari 2600 growing up (same with my dad and his family, he doesn't play games at all today, well neither my mom). Her younger brother (my uncle) had a ColecoVision as well. I believe he still occasionally plays games. I got her to play Cooking Mama with me once and she made fun of Mama's accent.

She was also able to finish Puzzle-Bobble 2 in the arcade with just 1 credit.

My mom has always liked games. Back in the day I taught her how to beat my friends on MK2 by being cheap with Mileena. After that she got super deep into Pokemon for a long time. She went to teach English in Korea while I was in college and I'd get these phone calls at the weirdest times where she'd just be calling to ask if her Cubone should learn Bonemarang or the like. In the end sje played most of the games, only really petering out with Sun/Moon. These days it's all Animal Crossing which she got into with the Gamecube but really got obsessed when Wild World came out but is now all about the new one. God damn I love my mom.

She doesn't play video games pretty much ever but she apparently enjoyed Super Mario Bros. as a kid. When I got Super Mario Bros. DX for Game Boy Color, she told me how she used to be able to get to World 8.
This is unlike my dad who "games" weekly. By "games" I mean he gets shitfaced and plays golf games on Wii while listening to old vinyl records cranked up to max volume. Yes, he still plays on a Wii weekly to this very day.

She played pic related all the time back in the 90s. It was an interesting little 3D puzzle game, lighter on story/exploration than 7th Guest or Myst, which my dad played.
A couple years ago I tried finding an ISO to figure out if I could get it to run on her PC, but nothing came up at the time. Apparently it got Saturn/PS1 ports, but from what I remember it’d be pretty shit with a controller.

Only game I ever got my mom to play with me was Crash Team Racing.
My dad, however, does like a decent variety of games, most recent was Red Dead Redemption 2. When I was younger he was actually pretty on top of getting PC upgrades, we had at least 3 systems from '96 to 2000, going from a Pentium MMX to a Pentium III, and we had each major iteration of the Voodoo up to the Voodoo 3. Played all of the best shooters thanks to that.

My mom (now deceased) liked horror movies and stuff and somehow got into the GameCube Resident Evil games when I was first playing them. I went through 1 with her, and maybe parts of 0 I think, and then she did 4 largely on her own although I don't know whether she ever finished it. She seems to have obtained Code Veronica or something on her own, even. I don't know how far she got in that either.

At some point later on I was at Best Buy with her and she wanted to get me a couple of 360 games as a random gift and I felt a little embarrassed and thought maybe she ought to keep her money (complicated silly family dynamics backstory there, whatever) but instead I tried to steer toward things we could both enjoy, those being more zombie stuff - Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead. But she couldn't play Left 4 Dead because it gave her motion sickness or something, and she never got into Dead Rising although she was greatly amused to see me trying it out (bashing zombies with random mall crap while wearing silly outfits stolen from stores and all that), so I ended up just playing them myself. Which of course wasn't bad since they are both awesome games.

I doubt that she would have kept up with that stuff indefinitely but it was fun for a while.

Hey you tricked me into talking about "new" games with your question about my mom who didn't happen to play old games, that's unfair anon. I'll hide it behind an on-topic family gaming anecdote: Once I was in an arcade with my sister and we played Lucky and Wild. I think I was Wild. It was fun.
