Do/did you have parents who spent some time with a controller in the had infront of the TV screen? I mean, kids and parents could really spend some "quality time" like that. I just found this at a forum.My parents never cared about such things and it's something I kinda missed. What do you think? |

My mom used to play SMB3 all the time on sundays... I never tried it until she was cooking my dinner once.  (I was about 4-6 at the time, not sure.) |

My dad introduced me to the gaming world when my sibling was born so I wouldn't notice their lack of attention toward me. You know how new babies are... Demanding and stuff. It was an old system that had like with GBA graphics. Anyways that was a long time ago and recently my dad just got a PSP, which he plays nonstop. I'll have to take it away from him when Grand Theft Auto comes out for it, though!  =P Snika |

One of the first memories I have is playing Zelda with my dad. We'd play video games all the time. He's not too good, but it was fun.  |

| My parents introduced me to games when I was about two or three years old. They'd sit me down and play Super Mario Bros with me. Of course, being that age, I stank, but whenever my aunts and uncles would come over, I'd want to play Mario Bros with at least one of them. And now, the funny thing is, they basically want me to stop playing as much as I am (which is only about 6-8 hours a week). They created the threat, and now they can't contain it. |

| I remember when I was young I would always ask my mom for help if I got stuck in SMW (most of the times I remember were in the Cheese Bridge Area). At the time (I was around 3 or 4) she seemed to be an expert. However, she wasn't all that good at the Cheese Bridge Area... Now I'm much better than her. | |||

| At first, my mom didn't want to buy the NES because she thought I would spend all my time playing with it, but then at some point my dad went and bought it anyway. My dad was the one who played with it the most at first since me and my brother weren't really good at any of the games. I remember when Super Mario Brothers 3 came out my dad played it all day and finished it on the same day. Besides that, my parents played Tetris and Doctor Mario from time to time. Now my dad plays World Of Warcraft all the time, and my mom doesn't really play games. My grandfather also played NES when I was younger, and my oldest uncle recently got a Gameboy Advance SP with a couple of games. |

| My dad can mop the floor with me in Mortal Kombat... good times. He doesn't seem to be good at very many other games, so I make sure not to practice MK at all. | |||

| It's been far too long since I've known my parents to pull anything out of vid games, at least with me around...and if it's in competition...well, neither would last two minutes. Neither are very interested, even though they're the ones that got me to the point where I am now by introducing it to me. |

| I've been in the gaming mode since I was, like 3 or 4. I played Super Mario 3. Mario still remembers back in the day, when I made him actually JUMP IN the lava and get a kick out of it. Since then, I got really sorta kinda good at games. I most of the time impress my friends, but I've seen people that even impress me! Lately, I had a friend who would unwittingly sell games to GameStop once he beats a game. I did that, now I'm stuck with a not-so-collection of some nice gamecube games. My love for videogames made me interested in emulation for my computer. I like to do that a lot. I now have games that I never even had, but wanted as a littler kid. I'm a rebel. My mom doesn't seem to care, though. She's probably happy I finally got games I've always wanted. | |||

| My whole family played video games... Dad's Favorites: Castlevania 3, Mario 3, Galaga, Space Invaders, Mario Kart 64 Mom's Favorites: Tetris, Galaga, Pac Man, Tetris Attack (she's a friggin' pro at Tetris Attack  )Hehe, my dad was a master at the Castlevania games, probably one of the reasons I'm an avid Castlevania nut. Hehe, even today my dad still likes to fire up some Castlevania 3, 4, and sometimes he likes to play Castlevania 64! He doesn't like Symphony of the Night and the other "castleroid" games though, probably because they pose no challenge. Galaga is probably a favorite among my whole family. Used to play the NES version (when our NES would work) but now we use the Namco Museum version, nice our N64 works with no problems. xD My dad's score is still unbeaten on the Namco Museum memory card. I forgot what it was though. (edited by Ralphy Boy on 05-05-05 06:01 PM) (edited by Ralphy Boy on 05-05-05 06:02 PM) (edited by Ralphy Boy on 05-05-05 06:02 PM) |

Not really much of anything anymore, but the earliest thing I can remember was when I was two and was watching my father play duck hunt (he lost on level 14 if you're wondering)  |

| I grew up with only my father. Sadly, he passed away 3 years ago. But there were some great gaming memories. One which comes to mind is us playing Super Mario Bros. 3, getting really far, then the NES stuffing up, so we had to start all over again. We always used to cheat in Duck Hunt, and I was hella-bored when he wanted to play Puznic, or Duck Maze. Super Castlevania IV was another good game we both played. I missed out on RPGs, because he thought that they were stupid, lol. Whenever he got excited by finishing a stage or something, he used to yell out "CALA-KA-BUNGA DOOD!!!" followed by slapping me on the leg. God that hurt! Lol. When he bought a Nintendo 64 for christmas one year, as usual, he was the first to try it out. He got the controller, ready to move Mario, but he couldn't figure out the whole "3D" thing of it all, and continued to run around in circles for about 3 minutes, before giving up and letting the master have a go.  I think the only N64 game he could play was Tetrisphere. But after my games started getting too complicated for him, I bought the SNES Dr. Mario/Tetris cart, and he played that. We started out with an Atari, and his favorite game was the one where you control these lips and you grab all the food while avoiding the red sausages. 6 of them and it's game over. |

My mum brought a Sega master system home when i was 6, we only had sonic 1 for about a year but we played it all the time, it was great. She never plays with me now, i'm 16. It would be nice if she played games with me, but it is to real now and she may be offended by it My dad can't even turn the pc on, so he has no chance of playing video games  |

| Ah, the SNES days. Back in the day my dad and one of his good friends, would buy interesting and different games for the SNES, and we'd all play them together. Games I can remember us playing were, Lemmings, The Lost Vikings, Earthworm Jim, and others. A weird mix of games, but hey, they were all awesome. Then the N64 came out. I got older, and apparently the realism of the graphics these days makes my dad 'sick'. I'd rather not play games with my parents at all now, but when I was younger I guess it was fun ...

| My mom beat The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past from start to finish. Funny story, though. She got up to Ganon and kept trying to beat him. I had my own save file, but I was at the very begining. I hadn't even found Zelda in the first dungeon yet. I saw that she kept trying, and decided I wanted to play too. When she got up and took a break, I tried fighting Ganon and won first try. She came back and was really mad at me that she got so far and I was the one that beat the game. (She later went back and beat Ganon herself) She said she would never forgive me for that.  |
