What was the first game your parents played?

[TheScarecrow]

My Dad and I once played co-op Metal Slug 2, or maybe X, while on holidays once in a coin-op machine.

My parents played Pong. They say my mother was really good and could beat all the guys.

So here's to my mom, paving the way for gamer chicks who are actually good at gaming.

Both my parents were gamers back in the days of the Atari 2600...But the first they would have played was Pong... We still have the machine and it still works!!! We also still have their old Atari with quite a few games...Its starting to be buggy (especially the games) but it still works as well...Those things were built to last!

They really don't play anything now...But will try a game if I explain it to them and tell them its easy...

My mom likes tetris, and plays it one the computer all of the time. She also played Brain Age a bit. My dad likes flight simulators.

Pong for my mom, and I'm not sure about my dad, but who cares, he's boring.

Well idk, my family had a ZX Spectrum and 2 Amiga's when I was born, so they were already playing games. My dad loved Gods on the Amiga and Cannon Fodder and many others. My mum got into Klacktris(a tetris clone basically) and Theme Park. but then she lost interested and about 10 years later in 2005 she got into The Sims 2 and is addicted to that atm. My Sister loves World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and Ecco atm but the first game i remember her liking most was Trolls on the Amiga

Both my parents used to play Diddy Kong Racing for my N64. Neither of them really got that into it though.

 

[Avaholic03]

My parents played Atari and other classics, or so they said.

But my earliest memories involve them sending my sister and I to bed, and then staying up and playing Pilotwings or the original Madden Football on my SNES

I got my Dad to play KOTOR and My Mom to play GH World TOur

My mum played Space Invaders and now she plays Tetris and Bust-a-Move on the Gameboy.

My mom is a huge fan of centipede

My dad started with pong and he enjoys Mortal Kombat, and Grand Theft Auto.

 

[Drakmorg]

My Dad played tetris when it came out on the original game boy and continues to do so to this day.

My Mom blindly hates video games and considers them to be distractions for children.

 

[Chaos Bringer]

My dad and I played NHL 2005 together. We went through season after season.

 

[Azraellod]

the first one i remember them playing is yoshi story.

since then my dad has become fascinated with solitaire variations, and my mum has lost all interest in gaming.
