Greatest time spent gaming with your Parent ?

[The Empress]

My dad and I like to play Medal of Honor and beat each other up. Sometimes on Rising Sun we'll play the team vs. and be on one team with all of the hard-to-beat enemies on the other team. We always win, but we tease each other about who got the most kills or died the most. It's really fun!

my being 12 in 1999, my dad playing Duke Nukem 3D and having me watch him playing...
nothing is sweeter than seeing you dad, blast through pig-cops with an RPG
from that moment i knew my dad was awesome O.O

I play a lot of videogames with my dad, but the standout one is from my mum who had just finished Portal.

"That game was fun, but it told me that the cake was a lie. Damn I want cake now..."

I can't explain why, but I thought that was hilarious.

my dad helped me on zelda wind waker when it first came out

 

[Catchy Slogan]

If my mum is in the same room, she usually tells me how much I suck at the game if I'm doing badly.

EDIT: She keeps trying to get me to have a Facebook, so she can add me as a 'farm buddy' on Farmville. *shudders*

We got an NES for Christmas one year, and was considerably broke so we had that until the N64 came out. Anyway, when I was a wii (lol, puns) little kid, my dad made sure my brother and I went to be early on school nights. We'd sleep while he played Hunt for the Red October. (He'd occasionally walk the guy up to the screen and go "Hi Dave!" which was apparently a reference to David Letterman that I still don't understand.)

Anyway, we lived in an RV that was about 26 feet long. My "bedroom door" was a sliding wall thingy, and the bottom only went like halfway down so we(my brother and I) could sit in the space between the two beds and watch him play, or watch TV.

However, my brother and I would prefer to actually be able to play the game. So, what we'd do is pretend we were woken up or couldn't sleep for one reason or another. Then, he'd let us sit in the living room with him for several hours, usually allowing us to play. Sometimes we'd just sit with him while he played. It wasn't very interesting and we didn't do alot on the game, but it was time spent with my Dad that I'll always remember and cherish. It was great .

Playing Sonic with my father back in the Sega days. that's the only gaming time we've had together.

 

[c__age]

The best time ever gaming with my father was PGA world tour for the sega genesis. We have both always enjoyed golf and golfing games It was some good times back then. ALSO ROAD RASH I KICKED HIS ASS IN EVERY TIME BUUWWAAAAHHAHAHAAA

While both my parents have played games with me (or at least attempted to play), the best memories I have come from when I discovered that my mom loved to play Bubble Bobble back in the day. Playing co-op with her, yelling "get the damn umbrella!" back and forth and such remains one of the most fun multiplayer-related experiences I've ever had.

I remember my grandma playing Mario kart 64 with me and my brother. Also, my mom was also a big time gamer, never really played a game with her, but i have watched her play games on the NES a few times.

 

[kawaiiamethist]

Never gamed with a parent, but as a kid I used to love watching my mum play Mario on the NES. She was a natural and could always get to the final level, whereas, I couldn't. What was up with that final level, anyway? There seemed to be no end >.>

 

[DarkLight523]

Me and my old man playing Ace Combat 6 for the XBOX 360 and blowing the Holy Hell out of anything that so much as looked as something capable of being blown up... which was everything (Damned NextGen Consoles with your high graphics, make out parties and Hannah Montana clans[RIP PGL]).

 

[Revolutionary]

When my mum tried (and failed) to play guitar hero.

 

[thepopeofatheism]

I would give two instances of this.

First would be when I was five and I was demonstrating Super Mario Bros. to my dad, who really couldn't do well. I embarrassed the hell out of him.

The second would be when I played Rock Band with the same man. He being an actual drummer.
I then proceeded to embarrass the hell out of him on those fake drums.

Strangely enough, my Dad likes to play gGears of War 2 for some strange reason. He's too cautious and likes the Mortar a biiiiit too much though. We occasionally play against each other, but he either gets his head shot off from the Sniper, or panics and tries too run when i massacred his entire squad with a chainsaw and Shotgun Combo. We've been playing coop ever since.

 

[Super Toast]

Me and my dad used to sometimes play that level in Jak 3 where you steer a missile... good times.

I was really young, my dad had a PS1 with NHL 99 and the Spyro series. We played NHL 99 through season mode, into the playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals. But the greatest time would be mid-way through the season. He played as Philidelphia and I played as Vancouver, so as not to play eachother more than once a season, and we faced off. I ended up winning 9-7, but the important part was that I actually enjoyed playing with my dad.

We also teamed up to play Spyro 2: Rypto's Rage that year. I would handle the levels and Dad would take the boss fights. This all ended when he moved to Delta, though... Last time I played with my dad we were killing eachother at Battlefield 2. Haven't gamed with him since.

I played Myst with my father. I got frustrated before him and moved on to First Person Shooters. He went back to his day job. Thus ends the saga of father-son bonding.

well, my mom was the real gamer parent in my home, but my favorite moments gaming with my parents was playing Street Fighter 2 with my dad. He would always play dhalsiem, and button mash to hell.. but Dhalsiem has the range that he could occasionally eke out a victory.. in any case, it was always a blast.
