games your parents love

[Nargleblarg]

My mom has never touched a video game, but my dad has been a serious gamer since he was like 17.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

My dad likes the first Modern Warfare. He used to play a fair amount of games over the years.

My mother loves GTA London, mainly because it's set in the same year she was born and she likes all the cockney atmosphere.

Personally I wish they'd make a 3D version of GTA London next.

 

[pixie veins]

My mom loves Tetris. A lot.

I remember her playing Mario with me when I was really little on NES, too.

 

[ThePirateMan]

Father: World of Warcraft
Mother: "Email"

 

[Geamo]

My mom loves Peggle and all those other little puzzle games: bejeweled, mahjohng, you know the sort.

My dad? Combat Flight Simulator 3 and Monster Truck Madness.

my folks are in their 60's there not really gamers but my mom does spend hours playing solitaire and shes realy rather good at it. my dad plays a few mini browser type games. generaly they like point and click simple stuff or computer copies of board games, eg chess or scrabble.

im damn sure they would love other games if they would come out of the tv watching comfort zone and try them. my dads a bit of a sci fi nut so theres a whole host of options and im fairly sure my mom would enjoy stuff like the sims and cooking mama and any maths logic and word puzzels would work for either of them.

My Mum and Dad both love civilisation, and my mum has recently started playing King's Bounty. they also both love Bioware games. I actually am kind of lucky as I come from a family of PC gamers.

My mum looooooves~ Fable 2... sadly enough

also, she likes guitar hero and rock band games.

and my dad likes anything involving racing cars.

 

[Jetcity]

My dad was obsessed with lands of lore 1 and 2. Also played far cry, which was odd coming home to.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

My mom and I love horror games, like Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

 

[Sandwich Man]

My mum likes both Fables, both Assassins Creeds, Morrowind, Tekken, Medievil, Silent Hill and probably some others that I'm forgetting.

Although why I say 'like', I mean 'completely obsessed'.

Edit: oh yeah, Monkey Island. But then, everyone loves Monkey Island.

 

[CroutonsOfDeath]

I was raised by a lesbian couple, so don't get confused over the fact that I never mention a father and refer to two mothers. My mums are actually big gamers, especially Chelly (My biological mother) who got me into most of the games I'm into now. She really likes shooters and strategy games, she got me into Doom and Command & Conquer, and one of the first games I ever got as a present was the first Red Alert, and it was equally a present for her as it was for me. She likes old school games too, Mario 3 is her favourite game and we played it a lot too. My other mother Meranda was into RPGs and got me into Fallout. She tried to get me into Final Fantasy, but I could never get into it. She didn't like shooters but she liked strategy games, and when StarCraft came out the 3 of us would all play. We also all loved Worms, even if ti was turn based and not RTS like most strategy games we would play. Her all time favourite game is Diablo II, and it was yet another RPG she convinced me to like, and we'd often quest together. They also like Silent Hill since they like horror movies, especially psychological horror movies, although they didn't get me into Silent Hill, it was I who got them into it.

I liked having parents that loved games and I got a lot of my taste in gaming from them. Even though I'm married and out of the house, we still love playing games together and I think it helps keep my relationship with them strong. The four of us (I'm including my wife) have been playing a lot of Borderlands and Worms lately, and we still hold StarCraft and C&C tourneys.

My dad is the one who got me into video games. He played Sonic, Mario, Zelda, all of that stuff. Plus we used to play Hockey on Sega Genesis - as I got older we'd compete in NHL Hitz, Tony Hawk, and Madden.

My mom used to play mario back in the day. When she was pregnant with me, she spent a lot of time between that and the original Legend of Zelda. Now she just plays Farmville and Fish World.....

 

[Argtee]

My dad really liked Oblivion and Fallout 3.

My mom does not play video games.
