With Link's Awakening out, I thought it might be a good entry point into non-sidescrollers, since it has a nice aesthetic and is still 2D.

Her: "Now what's this game called?"
Me: "The Legend of Zelda"
Her: "Isn't that more of a strategy game?"

My mom used to play Links Awakening on GameBoy. I would try to play it but couldnt make much sense of it because I was so young, but I have fond memories of crowding onto our oversized recliner to watch her play it. Now she plays Toy Blast on her iPad.

Ive thought about getting her a Switch or maybe a refurbished 3ds but I dont know that shed play it much. She usually works on her art now that shes retired.

eh, I wish I could do this but my parents are set in their ways. my dad refuses to touch any games. my mom just plays puzzle stuff on her ipad

maybe if I had tried to play with them when I was a kid and they were younger, I might have been able to get my mom into it. maybe. but I think it's a lost cause now.

my dad especially just has it in his head that video games are just toys for kids. and he has never understood why I still play them as an adult.

but that is cool about your mom. how old is she?

In her 50s. She never showed any interest until I got a Switch a few months back.

My mom won't play any real games except the original Super Mario Bros., with an NES controller. She won't even play Lost Levels. That's how much of a purist she is.

I mean Lost Levels isn't some retcon thing of modern times. it actually WAS around back then. it just never came to America on the nes in it's original release. in japan, what we call Lost Levels they call Super Mario Brothers 2

Step your mom game up. My grandma would play my SNES games before, she fucking loved Aladdin. She got into Crash Team Racing later as well, she and my grandpa would race together on nights there wasn't anything they wanted to watch on TV.

Heartwarming.

My mom beat Twilight Princess before I did, lol!
