Although Old Mates might not always be the early adopters of technology, they are an increasingly tech-savvy bunch with Pew Research showing that 60% of seniors now go online.

So, if you're a bit of a gamer yourself, then why not get your Old Mate in on the action? It's great mental stimulation and hones hand-eye coordination, too.

Playstation, PC, Xbox, Nintendo - it doesn't matter which console you use (although a proper retro, original Nintendo would be fab! It's also less buttons for your Old Mate to navigate).

Obviously starting with something simple and easy is a good way to introduce gaming to anyone— let alone an Old Mate who may have arthritis. (ie; Maybe don't start them off on Dark Souls).

· Many larger cities also have gaming cafes or bars if you don't own your own console.
