So, I am broke as hell, and my mom knows that. But I want to get her something for Mothers Day anyways. She has a pretty slow computer (5 years old or so), but she really likes certain types of computer games. She just has trouble finding them.

She likes games like bejeweled, Myst, Riven, World of Goo, or puzzle/adventure/whatever games that can be played with an APM of under 10.

Any ideas?! Ty muchly.

Bejewelled? Some of the newer versions have a bunch of game modes.
Or pirate her a bunch of movies, burn them to DVD's, and give them to her. Best mother's day present ever.

I agree w/ this.

They did a remake of the first Monkey Island game recently, and it's pretty cool. I can't see it needing a powerful computer to run, it's still 2D, just redrawn with higher-resolution graphics.

Kings quest series - should be really cheap, and their quests (exact the latest) are actually difficult to solve.

Ok here's my idea. Get up before she does and make her, her favorite breakfast. Try to not burn it.
In my opinion you don't have to get her anything as long as you show her you care. But yea breakfast and some flowers (If you can't afford the flowers you can pick them. Try it out XD

You could try Braid, but it's really, really difficult. To the poster above, he probably doesn't live with his parents any more.

My mother loves the games Diner Dash and Cake Mania, and all of the weird spin offs that are more or less exactly the same. I have never really played them so I don't know how challenging they are, but I figure if Mom can play them, anybody can.

uhmmmm well I wouldnt be too sure about it.

on my old laptop, which I bought about 3 years ago (it was the cheapest laptop in the store I'll admit, 1gb ram, I think 2ghz processor) it actually didnt work so well, it was really slow when I played with the new graphics, so I just played it in the old mode, like the original monkey island ( you can switch easily by pressing a button). That was fine for me since the nostalgia factor was higher that way anyways but someone who never played monkey island 1 will probably wanna play the new version.

Why? It's challenging, but if any of the first 7 games can make you seriously rage I don't know what to tell you. Sure it isn't games you sit down and complete in one setting, but spend a week or two on each.

Hidden Object Games? I enjoy those when I am tired of mechanic-intensive games.
