doom killed my family and I will not stop until I avenge them
None, my mom can't unto computers, my dad hates video games, and my sister is apathetic to video games.
My dad introduced me to video games by showing me Quake. He helped me put in cheats so I can win.
Only game my old man was ever interested in was Sensible Soccer on the Amegia, he use to go easy on me and sometimes even stopped controlling his players and yet little old me still could not score a damn goal :v:. This is going back 24 odd years ago mind you.
i ran a fonline server for a while and got my dad into it since he grew up with Fallout 1/2
I've never really seen PC games as family games. Nowadays you can more easily hook a PC to a TV screen and use controllers I guess, but when I still lived with my parents gaming on the computer would have meant gathering around a CRT monitor in my small cluttered room. I've had more luck getting my parents to play games on the PS2 and later Wii they bought for my younger sisters.
My grandma is a huge fan of witcher novels so I played witcher 3 with her a couple of times The sex scenes were really awkward, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience
Mario kart 64 and Goldeneye with my brothers
My grandparents who can't even play stanley parable or nintendo games played VR Remember: The entire to playing VR games is literally 0. Even grandparents who can't play walking sims can understand it.
My dad took me to a reserved college computer center at 6am, 13 years ago with about 20 other people (majority were cops or my dad's friends) and we all played Delta Force on lan. My tag was "9 year old kid" and the other adults in the room would go "Dang I got killed by the 9 year old again!" every time I got a kill. I remember almost everything-- waiting impatiently for the room to get unlocked by college staff, being impressed by the 30+ computers all with CD-cassete things colorfully labeled DELTA FORCE, and all the really friendly buff cops pretending to be impressed with me. It was one of the fondest memories in my life, and might be the sole reason I'm a computer scientist/gamer today. [editline]asdf[/editline] My dad kinda stopped playing PC games though, and the rest of my family has only really played Animal Crossing. So those days are over now, but they were great when they lasted.
My dad showed my brother and I Quake and Unreal Tournament while my mom let us watch her play Tomb Raider and Resident Evil. I still want to challenge my dad to a 3v3 CTF match in UT.
i apparentally sat on my dad's lap and watched him play doom when i was barely out of the womb. obviously don't remember that, but i do remember playing mist and riven together and working together to solve the puzzles. he did the vast majority of the work but it was still enjoyable
Played World of Warcraft Burning Crusade through Mists with my brother and sister in a guild with our school friends.
I get together with my brothers and sisters to play Mario party 2 every once in a while, we set it to 50 rounds bonus stars and just marathon that for hours at a time eating snacks and shit talking each other. We also play smash bros, only the 64 and the wii u versions, the only family member that can beat me at smash is my youngest brother, and I'm 10 years older than him.
