Current Events > Do your parents play video games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My dad really enjoyed some arcade titles. Most of all being Ms. Pac-Man, but he enjoyed Q-Bert a lot, and Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc. etc. The only console game I remember him playing was Pitfall for the 2600.

My mom isn't big into video games, but she does like pinball.

My parents are now in their 60's, just to give an idea of age.

My mom loved Pacman and Tetris. Nowadays, she just plays mobile games and Diner Dash-type stuff.

My dad has always been really into video games and the reason I grew up with both console and PC. He mostly played Classic MMORPGs, competitive FPS, and strategy games

My mom likes 7 Days to Die

My mom liked to play Dr Mario and Tetris. I also remember her beating super Mario Bros 3 when I was really young.

mom used to play arcade games and stuff.

Lol no. My dad still thinks video games are for kids and keeps asking me when I'm gonna "grow out of it". My mom has no interest in them
---

No, sadly. Though they were apparently into Enduro or something.

Yeah. My dad prefers beat'em ups like double dragon, the combatribes, that one beat'em up namco made on the ps2 that I am having a hard time remembering the name of, looked like it used the same engine tekken uses, and run n' gun games like contra, gunstar heroes, metal slug etc. He is pretty much the reason I loved games so much coming up...he used to rent a different game for either the nes, snes, genesis, or playstation 1 every friday from the local rental places around my area. When it comes to how far down in the console generation he kept playing current games on, he stopped at the PS3, lol. He has his own PS3 that he mostly just uses for youtube, netflix and whatnot.

My mom never was a gamer like the rest of the family. The most I will ever see her play is things like solitaire, candy crush, farming games and stuff like that.

My aunt was ridiculously good at old-school arcade games like donkey kong, pac man, and 1942.

The only game my dad plays is Spider Solitaire. I don't think my mom has played a game since Kangaroo on the Atari 2600.

I remember slaughtering my old man at Bo Jackson Baseball a few times. He used to play Doom and Wolfenstien on his work laptop when laptops where still a new thing.
