I just wanna know if anyone else here has parents who play video games. I don't mean Farmville and Bejeweled, either. For example...
My mom plays games like:
- Final Fantasy games (She's playing FF13 right now)
- Dark Cloud/Dark Cloud 2
- The Elder Scrolls games
- She's thinking about playing Assassin's Creed
- American McGee's Alice (Probably not for kids, since it's a twisted creepy insane version of Alice in Wonderland)
My dad plays games like:
- Final Fantasy games
- Disgaea
- The Elder Scrolls games
- Generally FPS games, especially Halo
- He's probably gonna play Assassin's Creed
- He used to play Red Alert/Axis Powers games on the computer
So yeah, they both tend to play RPGs and such similar games, and my dad really likes strategy/tactics games (he really liked Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea) and FPSs.
My mom and I used to play Yoshi's Island and Zelda games up to the N64 days.
Those were fun times. :')
My father plays -
Command and Conquer Series
Halo 1 (The original)
X3
That's about it..
My mom and dad don't play a lot of games, although just a few days ago, my dad, my brother and I played homeworld (an old fun game which was made in 1999 o_O) and once my mom just played this game on Neopets for a long time ovO
My parent has never touched a video game next to probably pong and pacman
Well, my step-dad's cool and all by playing Halo, CoD, etc, with me. And he's pretty good at it too, so, yeah :)
I've never seen my mom play a video game, but my dad plays more family-friendly stuff from Nintendo and all that.
My mom doesn't play games unless it a pinball machine, but when my parents were still together my dad was addicted to Elder Scroll three morrowind on xbox. Which is one of my biggest mistakes I ever bought. I like the game and all but my dad had anger issue and when his computer crash. He started playing xbox and giving games a try. At first I thought it was cool giving now a days games a try. But then when he gave Morrwind a try. Thats when my life turn bad to worst. I never had a good relationship with my dad. But that all he did when he got home from work other than drank beer and watch fox news.
To make things worst I was never allow to play games on school days. So the only time I got to play games was on weekends and he would still be on it or when I start playing for about 10 minutes my dad would kick me off or else he get very angry.
Wow I didn't mean type something like this. This topic just gave me a flash back of my life.
My mother plays:
All the civilization games
final fantasy I, II, V, VI, VII, IX
Diablo III
Titan Quest
Neverwinter nights
Records of Agarest wars zero.
Tales of Graces
My father: Diablo III, Titan Quest, Halo 3
My mom's rather nerdy, and expressed interest in video games a few times, so I once tried to get her started playing Portal and FFX and some other stuff. She was really, really bad at pretty much every game she tried, unfortunately. :s
My dad used to be pretty big into Halo, but he stopped after ODST.
That and Wii golf, I've never seen anyone log as many hours as him on that :l
I have convinced my sister and my father about joining World of Warcraft. They joined the Horde. I am from the Alliance. They say I am the family's shame. >:/
My mother and father are the coolest! My dad is more into shooters like CoD and games like Elder Scrolls, and my mother loves puzzle games. They both play MMORPGs, and my dad takes me through dungeons in WoW. He rarely but sometimes plays with us on the wii. I usually beat him though, that's why.

If you are a rogue, you should come up to them while they're leveling and gank them to get the last laugh
My mum is a wizard on Mortal Kombat, and my dad well...I'm pretty sure he's completed every game released since DooM

My main was a mage so I could only "see" (and kill) them when people wanted to invade Ogrimmar. It was kinda awkard go to a city and kill your own family, actually XD
my perants used to play back in the day of the super nintendo but now they are not as inpresive although that said my grandperants on the other had thats another story seriously they beat the orignal donkey kong country games twice along with the new one 100%
My parents straight up refuse to play anything with me. I envy you guys who actually have awesome gamer parents :)
My grandmother is always up for some Ms. Pac Man.
I've only really played Bubble Bobble with my mother.
And I still cannot beat my late father's score in Donkey Kong to this day...

In a virtual fantasy world, that sounds so epic B)
My dad (may he rest in peace) was a gamer and played all sorts of PC games like Fallout, Rainbow Six, Diablo, Dungeon Master, and lots of Amiga games too in the 80's. He even had an Xbox 360 and played Oblivion! I got him a Lord of the Rings game for Christmas once. When I was little I would sit next to him and watch him play through games. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be quite the gamer I am now.
My parents used to play Super Mario Bros on the nes with me and my sister when I was 5 or 6 years old, and some karate game I can't remember the name of on nes, but once we started playing the newer games they sort of lost interest although my dad played with us on the SNES Jurassic Park 2 but he lost interest in games when the N64 and PSX came out, where as I ended up becoming a retro/new game player. x3
Oh yeah, I just remembered, my dad used to play the Resident Evil video games. ^-^ I loved watching him play when I was a kid, and then I'd play pretend Resident Evil at daycare.

My mom would watch us play and make snarky comments, but I think she liked it.
My mom desnt even know how to jump in the first super Mario...
But my dad played pokemon Blue with a very strong team ((stronger than mine)) and pokemon Gold. My dad also play a bit of Tetris party from time to time... But that's it...
My dad used to be a gamer but he hasn't had the time now that he is going back and finishing his college degree. Oddly enough until my dnd group broke up a few days ago I never really had the time for it myself. And what do you know, now here I am :D
hm.. I am a parent myself, and I play a LOT of mmos ^-^
my kiddos daddy plays RTS games like starcraft and LOL and so on and so forth :D
