Abstract :
Increasing population of the elderly has caused many socio-economic issues. This paper describes the need to develop games for the elderly and proposes the solutions - social and physical interactions, adaptability, and coequality. Based on these concepts, "Age Invader" is shown as an example system which allows the elderly to play with children. The system allows natural social-physical inter-generational interactions.
