I don't know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It's an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.

Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.

I'd say it's time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won't abide private efforts then it's time to make the government do it.
