Try EVE Online - that’s a mind-stretcher.

I'm still adicted to this:
I've bought three copies of it. The first I threw away after a few all-nighters and wanted my life back. Then I bought it again and eventually gave it to my grandson - to get my life back. I bought it again about a year ago and have learned to control the drug, for the most part. And I DO think it helps. I'm almost 60.

Been playing for 4 years. If it’s Oculus-compatible, my mind will be blown.

great....now the SS elderly set will get video game coverage....
seriously, keep your mind thinking...reading...listening....and that means listening a little to modern music, if just while in the car...just so you know whats "out" there....
a newspaper is better actually than the tv news because you get a little bit of EVERYTHING...

What news is this? My wife and I have been playing video games since before our kids were born. We started with Pong in 1975 and moved through about every game system there is, as well as the arcade game era. We both still regularly play for recreation because it does keep the mind and dexterity sharp. We’re in our 60s and will probably not tire of it. Besides, it was our generation who invented video games and yes, we can outplay our grown kids and grandkids at a lot of games.

Well, as they say in science, not totally conclusive. But not to totally scoff at either. What could tell more is testing for carryover skill to a different game or other cognitive tests.
If stuff like this could help elderly drivers drive better, it would have very useful practical applications.
