Not at all. When I was in my early teens, he was somewhat picking games for me, based on magazine reviews and their "educational value" (meaning I've got into bunch of strategies, like Settlers or Civ), but that's it. I think the only vidya he ever played was the Space Cadet pinball.

[Anonymous No.7420727]

He grew up playing atari and the classics on the nes, but after that only really played sports titles from time to time on our playstations. He didn't really like my obsession with video games at all though. He passed away 2 years ago from alcohol abuse which sucks because I at least wish I had the balls to ask him to play some of his childhood favorites with me before he went.

Thank you for reminding me to keep looking for that old 1980's PC flight game that my dad used to love but my mom threw out because he was spending too much time on it. I'll find it for my dad so he can piss off my mom again.

[Anonymous No.7420750]

>>7420724
In fact, I never really understood his attitude. I wasn't interested in the slightest in computers or games when I was a kid and I though he only ever picked a PC due to the whole 'it's for the education' type of reasoning. Then I eventually picked up gaming and he was always scornful about it. I mean shit, you've got me into this and then pretty much insisted I should at least give it a try and then continue to do so. Then why are you complaining to this day when I eventually did and find a way to entertain myself with it?
And despite being in mid 30s, I know I will be unable to talk with him about it, because he will just get all defensive and angry - and last thing I want to spend my visit at home is dealing with his angry rants. It's one of those things I don't miss at all ever since I moved out years ago.

My dad introduced me to arcades, my first video game experience ever. I just couldn't believe the lights shimmering in the massive darkened room. I was 2 and it was 1979. Not sure what the first game I ever saw or touched, but the submarine games like Sea Wolf (1978) and Computer Space (1971) come to mind, I didn't get to play, just look, but it was a magical time with dad. He never played any home games.

He played a few quiz games on our first PC like You Don't Know Jack and some Win3.1 version of Jeopardy, and that was it. He just stopped playing games forever.

Not a lot. He really doesn't get why anyone but kids plays games.

That is kid stuff. Computers can do so much more".

He tolerated it because I learned English through it, I guess.

Only game he played was tetris and solitaire and was pretty good at it. He still plays stuff like chess and sudoku.

Dunno. He was imprisoned for murder in 1996.

[Anonymous No.7423679]

My dad's first console was a 2600. He played plenty of NES stuff but ended up buying a Master System as a teenager in the 80s because the games were so much cheaper. He was born in 1973, so the games market grew up with him, so he obviously played the "edgier more adult genesis" in college and was a young adult when the Playstation came out. I remember my mom and dad playing Norse by Norsewest together in the Playstation and getting in big fights over it. I remember him playing Warcraft 3 a lot on the computer when I was pretty little.

Looking back it's hard for me to tell how much of his playing video games was just a result of me being really into games, but I don't remember him really playing anything "by himself" after the PS1 era. When COVID started, he got super tired of watching cable news all the time and asked if he could borrow my Sega Genesis. He beat Maximum Carnage a few times am unsure if he played anything else. I modded one of those Genesis minis for him and gave it to him for his birthday, and I think he plays it by himself infrequently. I know he has played some Road Rash though, and he comes over for dinner once or twice a week and a we always end up playing games together with my wife and sons. He still has the capacity to quickly learn and understand games though which is great, sometimes my older son tries to get my wife's parents to play Mario Party or something and it's pretty annoying having to gently remind them to do obvious things all the time. Sometimes I still.think my dad doesn't really understand me, but he's sure been mostly supportive and nice in my life. I'll always remember eating frozen food from the Schwann man and playing Metal Gear Solid VR Missions with him.

I'm kinda embarrassed saying this but, both my parents can't read or write, they are profoundly dyslexic and show zero interest in anything electrical, I'm not from some 3rd world nation either, it's a complete family secret and I've been sorting out their bills and mail since I was 8, I'm nearly 40 now, my escape had always been vidya games, thankfully the dyslexia completely missed me and my sister, both my parents work full time but me and my sister had in reality become their care workers.

I've never even once considered asking them if they want to play vidya, it's just not them.

My dad was never into games but my mom and stepmom and sisters played some SNES with me when I was like 5. That's around when I started playing. Games helped me learn to read before I started school. Life goes by so quick. It's fleeting.

He doesn't mind video games all that much, but was never a die hard fan. He started with games like Pong. He had an Atari 2600 and his favorite games to play were Asteroids and Pitfall. We used to play stuff like SMB1 together or he would play Baseball Stars with my mom. His favorite game of all time is the original Resident Evil. He stopped playing games after the PS1 era. He probably would've played the PS2 GTA trilogy if it came out in that era because he always had a blast laughing his ass off (along with some of his buddies) when they saw me just going around town killing people with chainsaws, gatling guns, or running people over.
Recently, I told him and my mom that I was building a MAME cabinet. Turns out, he had the same idea too for his place. We might be building two cabinets together sometime this year.

DIY focused. extremely good at building and fixing things. the quintessential stuff my generation is lacking. bought a plot of land when he was 28 years old and built his own mansion by himself. went on to raise 8 kids.

I'd have to say no. Apart from being a murderer, he was also a rapist, violent drunk, paedophile, and woman beater. Messed my brother up so much that he killed himself in 2002. I don't think he'll ever be getting out, lucky for him.

Not bothered. Do not apologize (ever). You're entitled to joke about whatever you feel like. I'm not some (N)PC twerp. And no, it isn't weighing me down at all. Actually the first time I've thought about him in almost two decades, I think. As for his fate? Big man around weak people, weak man amongst the strong - so, as you might imagine, he's probably being passed around like a toy as you read this...

Haha no but he did used to sometimes bitch at me about thinking shooty shooty bang bang games and shit like the killing in MK was cool because "I killed other human beings, believe me it ain't fuckin cool". But he loved action movies and war movies, go figure. Vietnam docs and movies would usually get him upset but he'd watch then anyway. WW2 was his main thing though, he would have old school History Channel when it was pretty much all WW2 shit on all day long

Similar situation here but a bit more extreme. I'm 27 and my dad is 72. The only video game he ever played more than once was Pong (1972). He was never interested in video games while I was growing up but I remember him laughing his ass off at the dialogue from Conker's Bad Fur Day, which he bought for my brother and I when I was 8 because he never gave a shit about video game or movie ratings. He's always up for a good game of 8-ball or 9-ball though.

My father was completely crazy and had serious anger management issues. He was borderline retarded and violent as shit, but as a child, you don't know any of that stuff. When your parents do something, you THINK they know what they're doing.
The first time I actually questioned his actions was when we got a Super Nintendo (not for me, for the family).
He spent literally hours plugging cables in and out, cursing and screaming and slamming his fist on the tv over and over again. Then he attacked me whilest yelling "All of this because of your shitty video games", so I ran out of the room and cried "I wish we didn't even have that thing".
Honestly, I didn't even wanna play with it anymore, but after a few days, when my father was working, I decided to try it out myself. Of course, touching the SNES or even going close to it was forbidden, so I almost shat my pants the entire time. I plugged the console in, switched the channel to AV and was ready to go. That shit blew my mind, I didn't even know what's happening anymore.
All in all, I think it's fair to say my father wasn't that tech-savvy

My dad was very good at NES Tetris, I don't think he ever maxed out the score or anything but he could routinely get all the rocket launches including St. Basil's lifting off.
He also figured out the password system in 1943: The Battle of Midway. So that was cool, I thought he must be some sort of super genius.
He just just technology savvy because he worked in the computer business for a long time, both programming and sales. He still has some old computer stuff including a tape drive the size of a small fridge.

He also played the Windows one a lot but there was something about that NES version of Tetris. To this day I think it's still my favorite one.
