Dad murdered the C-Snake with the yo-yo without taking damage. SMB3 is dad's favorite game ever and calls me immature when I challenge him to it. He has not played it for decades and still talks about it.

IIRC DemoniusX thinks Startropics is at least memorable and decent, so be careful.

Flanky posted:My dad would never play games now, but when I was a kid I would make him play games for me like a tiny fat Roman emperor. He actually beat Sonic 2, which is pretty impressive for someone who doesn't like video games mayb e you have to hate videogames in order to play sonic ? ever consider that ?

To this day my dad still knows how to get through level 9 in The Legend of Zelda. Zelda games are the only ones he ever liked.

I had my dad play L.A. Noire once. He drove into light posts & stole cars. I then had him play Saint's Row The Third. He made a lady version of the Riddler & spent 10 entire SMG mags on one long-dead body.

My dad was really into American Civil War games. He also p much liked any strategy game and really loved Medieval 2 Total War. But he died before i discovered Paradox games. I am certain he would enjoy EU4 and CK2. I also think he would like Mount and Blade since he saw me play Morrowind and liked sword combat. He got to like lv 11 in that game one day while super high. His char was that midget elf and I think he pretended it was a hobbit. He was huge lotr nerd.

My dad plays strategy games. When I was 7 he bought Age of Empires and let me play it a bit and now I love strategy games He's really, really into Hearts of Iron now, and nothing else. He keeps saying that he wants to quit, because he's been playing the same game for thousands of hours at this point, but he's gotten old enough now that learning new things is difficult on him or something (I bought him Europa Universalis 4 just so he'd have a little variety and I think he actually plays that occasionally)

My dad didn't really play much games, but he was huge in getting me into gaming. He always got shareware floppies with tonnes of good and bad games and taught me to start doom before I could talk. He liked simulation stuff so he got me onto all the good stuff like SC2k, AoE, RCT Thanks dad.

when i was younger i always wanted to play as luigi in smb1 and smb3, so id rope my dad into being mario and we'd play together. he was a pretty good platformer. as he got older he stopped playing, but he still likes to come and sit and watch. recently my playing rocksmith and him seeing me go from terrible to not as terrible in some of his favourite songs is a pretty loving win thing.

Dad says he was awesome at pinball as a teen, sometimes he'll randomly tell me he played a cabinet while out and then tell me how long he played for, and that he left additional balls for later players. I learned from him that scrubs put money in the machines but never press Start, so I rarely actually pay for pinball when I'm out. I think he got me Space Invaders on SNES because he also played it at arcades and he really enjoyed Toad's Turnpike in Mario Kart 64.

My dad used to let me win at Combat on the 2600 back when I was a dumb tyke, and still likes the idea of video games even if he's too old these days to care about much more than solitaire and Sudoku and stuff on his tablet. Thanks, dad.

My dad plays Bridge online. He's pretty good. I don't get Bridge at all. I did break the news to my dad that people make a living by talking about and playing video games on Youtube. He didn't believe me - still doesn't.
