My girlfriend's nephews (10 and 12) were coming for a visit and she asked if they can play my Dreamcast. I said sure and recommend a few games I thought they'd like. They start with Crazy Taxi. Direct quote...
>Auntie, this game is playing old people rock music!

How time flies...

The wife and I just used the Retron5 when her nephews come over.

I don't have one of those. How do you find it? A friend has one, but he said it took a hell of a lot of fiddling and updating just to get it to run Actraiser.

I usually just keep one retro console out at a time and rotate every few months based on mood.

I started my nieces and nephews on the Beatles Who and Rolling Stones, then worked their way up to Cristina Agularia and Kanye West so they can recognize garbage when they hear it.

You shouldn't kid around when it doesn't call for it. We could actually go somewhere with this thread.

I didn't even realize they were having a go at me until you said that. Retrons (if they work) and emulators seem like a fine way to introduce kids to some of these games.

Naw I'm good. I'm not old and I don't let other people, especially the younger ones, let their ignorance get to me. If anyone thinks 90's music is "for old people" then they have no concept of time.

It confuses me when 22 year olds say "WOW do I feel old!" or "We're getting so old..." Yeah...just wait until your ancient like 35 or something. You know, the adult diaper years.

If you're only 35 and already needing diapers you're in trouble or need to cut out the night drinking.

To be fair to the kids though, the music in the game is all from before they were born. It's natural that they'd think of it as old.

My little cousin can't stand Crazy Taxi, but she loves GTA3 and SA. Kind of strange.

I'm 28 and I'm not ignorant enough to say "I'm so old xD".

Once I tried getting my 5 year old cousin into gaming when he was over here. I showed him a few like Doom, Halo, and Marvel vs Capcom (since he likes Spider-Man) and he didn't go for any of them, but he loved Advance Wars. It makes sense since he likes military stuff and I often found him playing with my dad's civil war figure set ups. Yeah, I know, cool story.

Well that is some shitty pop punk. I got so fucking tired of that Offspring song.

>> No.2555725

>>2555709
Yeah, Offspring was kinda played out by the time this game came out. Not to mention bands like Bad Religion were well into their second decade together. It was already dad rock.
