Well, that eliminates about 95% of the available games :-).  "Wheel of 
Fortune/Jeopardy" is available (actually, the Jeopardy game is enjoyable
for all); "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego" can be challenging 20 or
30 years after your last geography class; computer simulations of card games
or backgammon; and if you have the hardware to run them, the new turbo race
car games (with Porsche, Ferrari, etc.) would go over real well with the
men and probably at least some of the women.

If I'm not mistaken, the most well-reviewed typing tutor is "Mavis Beacon
Teaches Typing".

And if you're in a Prodigy service area (I didn't notice), you might consider
getting a Prodigy account for intro to telecomm.
