my parents have always seen video games as waste of time, and still do
so no "fond" memories

its funny how it was okay for me to watch TV as long as I wanted but gaming after certain time was out of the question

they told me videogames made me violent

jokes on them though i was violent anyway

When the first Crash Bandicoot came out, my mom let me skip school and drove me to the mall to buy it.

Thanks, Mom.

>blew up the death star on gamecube in coop mode in Star Wars Rogue Leader 3 or 2
That was the only time my dad played vidya with me and it was awesome that me and my dad were hero's.
Atleast to my 6-8 year old mind it was.

That image screams 1999, even their haircuts do.

I had a fond memory of playing Melee with my parents and sister when I got it for my 10th birthday. I remember everyone having fun, mainly because we equally sucked at Melee.

I also remember playing Wii Sports with my entire family for Christmas 2008, but this was also around the time my parents stopped gaming.

My mum's obsession with Mario games. I don't know why she liked them so much - her favorite was Yoshi's Island on SNES.

she wanted italian dick

Entering my older brother's room on the first day of 1999 to ask him if I could play with the new game we got for our N64 (we only had Mario 64 until then so I didnt know how playing other games work, I was 6 okay?)
I remember it as if was today, the game was OoT btw.

I still find it weird that my parent tell me video games are a waste of time, it's still sitting in front of a tv/monitor which they do anyway.

Teaching my dad how to play waverace 64 :(

Dad's responsible for getting me into video games and teaching me how to pirate in the first place. Then he started drinking like he's doing a dwarf roleplay and never stopped

when i was 10 and playing RE3:nemesis at 1 am screaming because nemesis was chasing me and I had no ammo. my mom popped her head in and told me to shut the fuck up. good times.

>people on this board were 6-8 years old when the gamecube was out

im too old for this shit

>dad brings home floppy game disks from work
>i play
ye thats it

>Then he started drinking like he's doing a dwarf roleplay and never stopped
LOL

>the calender
what the fuck

Dad giving me my first computer with a hugeass chunky monitor and letting me have it in my room to play Monkey Island.
If i ever went full-on blue arm sonic autism, it would be over Monkey Island or Command and Conquer

>get lotr two towers for ps2
>Christmas day, family is over
>Keep dying to the cave troll in the beginning
>Grandma roots for me and is ecstatic when we finally beat it
Nothing even close to that fun had ever happened before or after that

Playing Mario Kart/Party on N64. Even mum would join in. Good times.

Also EyeToy on PS2 playing that window washing minigame and dad pretending to wash the bird shit with his tongue

i remember getting one (1) game for my 10th birthday which was that shitty south park fps for the n64. on the drive home my brainlet mother saw a line on the box about anal probing aliens and made us go back to toys r us. exchanged it for rogue squadron so not bad.

My parents use to run gaming club in the 90s, my mom used to beat dad in tekken all the time, he would then play solo learning combos and shit however that didn't help him much. Years later me and bros were playing tekken 5 and we managed to beat the game with all the chars cept kuma, couldn't beat Jinpachi, mum came and beat him in 2-3tries.

Completing Driver 76 with my dad on new year's eve.

I can't even remember what christmas it was but after weeks of asking my parents every day to "Buy me a videogame" I finally opened up my presents to discover a brand new copy of Mischief Makers.
I wasn't even upset that they didn't buy an N64 (I don't know why but in retrospect it was probably because they were sold out for the holidays) I must have read that instruction manual 100 times before I actually got the N64 a few days later.
I was never really able to get my parents into games but I think that's fine.

If you arent 50 years old stop being a little bitch.

My dad drove to Germany from Denmark to get pic related for my two brothers and me.

My dad and I never got along much growing up. He was the "I work hard everyday and I'd you dont, then you're a pussy " kind of guy.

Video games were beneath him, however one day he was watching me play Tekken 3 and I was getting my was handed to me by the character Law. My dad was very nostalgic of the 70's and noticed Law looked and sounded slit like Bruce Lee.

He sat down on the couch, actually asked me if he could play too. I was overjoyed. We played a few rounds and it was one of the only good memories with my dad at a young age.

3 days later my mom finds Tekken 3 I'm the floor and says, "I'm sick of fucking telling you to pick up your games" and snap the disc in two.

SHUT UP ITS NOT FAIR

you sound like a little shit

>never played games with father, who is 62 years old currently
>a year ago or so finally some some virtual tennis 4 with him because I always wanted to play something with him and he liked tennis

>I have like 15 years of gaming experience
>neither of us have ever played a sports game
>he fucking beats me 7/10 times

fucking legend

I'm going to cry for months when he dies

Me and my mom played a lot of hospital tycoon on the ps1 after she came from work

>be about 8
>playing Hercules for the PS1
>this one part of the game is beating my ass
>get mad that I have to take breaks to go piss
>decide to put on a diaper to allow more attempts
>the game's frustrating me so much that I'm having a full on breakdown
>mom comes home unexpectedly with her friend from work
>they both walk in, only to see me crying in front of the TV with a diaper on
>family and friends still laugh about it to this day

Probably when our mom PRANK'D us when me and my sister were like seven. She said the store was all out of Pokémon Red/Blue copies and we were pretty sad, but when we opened up our fast food dinner the games were inside the bags. We lost our shit.

That game was fucking insane. I remember it blew me away back when I was like twelve.

Remember being a young lad and waking up to find my mom and dad playing that bug zapper game on my atari with the handguns. cant shake that memory haha,. they've long since separated.

dad gave me my master system when i was around 4
and bought me many sonic games until the dreamcast
it was the best time of my life

I competed with my mom for good Tetris scores and I played Myst with my dad, we both were equally fascinated.
He never wanted to play himself (he actually learned how to properly use a modern computer just a few years ago) but he always wanted to watch when I played point and click adventures.
I recently thisisthefutureoldman.jpg'd him when I showed him my Vive and he was thrilled.

> fondest video game memory involving your parents
Video games was the escapism I required to flee a life of abuses at the hands of an alcoholist, heroin and opium junkie, living on welfare, Dolophine and other opium-based farmaceutical prescriptions.
Games and books allowed me to live in bright worlds, while my grandparents wasted all their retirement money onto protecting my father from the law, through bribes and services.
After his death, I kept gaming and reading, but those times of simple merryment as a kid, are now replaced with escapism from a jobless and friendless life as an adult.

>Americans have bars on their children's windows

My mom loves videogames, we started playing them together. Her favorite are Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario 64, Spyro and Ocarina of Time. She likes to try new things, but she always goes back to those whenever she can.

Dad didn't understand how they worked, but he always bought them for us and watched us play. He tried to help us when we couldn't figure out a puzzle in Majora's Mask and he actually got it right, he was so proud and happy. I miss him and those days

Playing street fighter 2 on snes with my brother and dad. My dad picked dhalsim and spammed his stretch attacks, neither of us could beat him. We'd get mad and call him a cheater which he would just laugh at. Similar situation in soul caliber 2, he picked kilik and stomped us. Also in sf2 my dad fucked around with the settings and somehow gliched the game to still be playable but the characters looked like they were made of sand. Pretended like it was a cheat he did on purpose. Thought it was the coolest shit and asked him how he did it but he'd say it was his secret.

Also we got stuck on the last boss of tenchu and he beat it for us although by spamming the bombs but still

Maybe being 12 or younger my dad got me into Warcraft 3 and I had to help him finish it even though he played it before me.

My dad showing me Age of Empires 2, and encouraging me to play after school to brush up on my history.

Obsession.

those are blinds you fucking mong

> not destroying your dad at vidya
It's like you want to bond or something

My dad still plays dead or alive 5 last round with me sometimes,
I mean I beat him at it 100% of the time but he doesn't seem to mind.

My father gifting me and my brother GTA 3 after a Judo match (and the next year VC for the same reason)
Or my father and uncle playing Gran Turismo and then putting on the replay so my brother tought he was driving like a pro

my mom told me she enjoyed mario on the nes back when my brother was a baby
that's it

My Dad used to help me through games that I was having trouble with when I was younger and I'd watch him play, so I have quite a few fond memories. I guess my favourite is watching him get all the Power Cells in Jak and unlocking the secret ending.

When my dad got me an N64 with an atomic purple controller. He likes the older games. As far back as I can remember, we had an Atari 2600. If there was a Pacman cabinet anywhere, he'd be there. I played as well with him. But that N64 with 4 player local and Mario party tho.

Also my father calling me and when I went to the PC he downloaded a japanese ROM of Pokemon Ruby saying "I bet no one of your friends already has this"

Closest thing is my parents getting me a Gameboy.

Had to buy games (other than Pokemon that came with it) myself though. I think that I've only received three games as a gift ever and I'm pretty sure that only 1 of those cost money to the giver.

My dad and I are super excited about the new xcom expansion and we have both been talking about it for months.

My parents weren't against vidya but never triedto play it because 'oh I'm too old for this'

Meanwhile my best friend's father kicked our asses at Tekken, Mario Kart etc

This is the only console I've ever had when I was a kid. My dad then became a PC fag forever and I followed his steps.

>Dad loves motorbikes
>Got in a bad crash that fucked his foot up
>Can still ride bikes but decides against it in case he fucking dies
>Still loves bikes though, watches MotoGP, buys bike magazines etc
>My big bro gets Road Rash 2 on his Mega Drive
>Dad wants to play, too, even though he's never played a video game other than Pong
>For some reason he keeps veering off to the side, hitting trees, bushes, deer, rocks, whatever
>He gets a bit mad at the game and wanders off
>Comes back later to watch us play and loves it, but won't partake anymore

My dad's a bit of a dick in general, but that's a good memory.

I wanted Jedi Knight II, My dad wisely got me pic related instead

>playing rayman at age 5
>get to moskito fight 1
>too much stress
>can't handle his menacing buzz
>mother wrecks him while I ran for cover in parents bedroom with sister
Gud times. I'd also ask her to play Medievil all the time for me to watch.

Everytime i think about this i get teary eyed. Ironically he died in a car crash that year. And oddly enough as a kid it made me feel a little better to think he got taken down by an enemy racer. Not many people even get to have a father, let alone one that cared this much.

I miss you everyday Dad. Keep on burnin.

I used to stay at my dads and play ps1 and later ps2. I remember always overwriting his saves by accident but he never seemed to care

>From Denmark to Germany

So he drove for 15 kilometers?

My dad actually took an interest in what I liked. I remember he would watch me play and he enjoyed spending time with. He didn't play much besides AOE2. He had a DS but barely used it. I wish he was still here so I get him a Professor Layton game because he really enjoyed doing puzzles.

What a cool guy.

no, he drove from the Nothern part of south Jutland to the southern part of North Germany. don't know how far it was, but he didn't get it at the border.

I remember playing Battle Arena Toshinden with my mom, that was a lot of fun. I also will never forget how amazed we were by Sega Channel when we got it.

My dad bought me every game system since the NES. The perks of having a drug dealer father. He was super into Grand Turismo. He went to jail for 4 months and when he was gone I got every license and 1 billion credits. When he got home he almosg shit himself. He stopped selling drugs and became a truck driver. He didn't play as much but he watches me and my kid brother play anytime he comes to my house. I might not agree with all his choices, but he did what he could with what he had. He's my bestfriend and I'm probably going to kill myself when he dies.

At least you're close. I wouldn't off myself when he dies though. I doubt he would want that.

I remember being in school, history class about ww2, my dad bought me medal of honor Frontline and make me watch saving private ryan.

My dad started off playing Castle Wolfenstein and Descent. Then Mechwarrior 2. Then Mech Commander. I know the whole fucking Mech Commander intro by heart. My entire family knows it.

youtu.be/HcCxK5jq65I

Poor Panther.

You're right. It's just hard to imagine life without him. He's the funniest motherfucker you'll meet in life. It's making me sad just thinking about him being gone.

>Took me to halo 2 midnight release
>Taught me how to play Unreal Tournament
>Bought me JJBA on the dreamcast and played with me
>Got Project Justice when it first came out and played my fingers were dead
>Went out of his way to get me Power Stone 2 when all the dreamcast games were out of stores since he knew I used to rent it from blockbuster non stop

Thanks, Dad. You rock.

My dad in general, when he feels like playing vidya
>figured out the 8-4 loop in Super Mario while I was still getting my ass handed to me in world 4 or 7
>got chewed out by my mom for playing Diablo 2 nearby while I was studying for important nationwide exams
>he goes on to corpse run tirelessly on weekends against diablo with a paladin specced entirely into might and zeal
>this was back before LoD, before zeal was capped to 5 strong hits instead of a 20 attack miss parade
>now retired, multiboxing a Chinese f2p browser MMO with his pc and my old laptop, about 5-10 instances each
>1 main, 1 marketplace, the rest all bot farmers
>consistently trolling the shit outta the semi-whales by manipulating the market prices with his market account while staunchly refusing the spend a single cent on (his own words) the shitty game

My dad taking over from me and my brother at the last World of maximo when we couldn't beat it, and playing battlefield and hitman together.

I used to watch my dad play the first ghost recon on PC until one time he shot a dude in the balls. I said "oh you got him right in the balls!"

He got mad at me for saying it and I never played games with him again. I was probably about 10 or 11 at the time.

Getting an N64 for christmas the year it came out, watching my dad struggle to connect it to the TV and eventually getting it to work, accompanied by an entire day playing just Bobomb battlefield, thwomp's fortress and running around the castle. Suoer Mario 64 was forever my dad's favourite game.

Based dad

You really lucked out on that one. I got that South Park game on the N64 and it was awful. I played it for an hour or two and then never touched it again.

>be serious poorfag growing up
>dad buys a used Xbox at a garage sale
>comes with a whole bunch of demo disks
>me and brother too dumb to realize they aren't full games
>he buys the first actual game

>it was the first "violent" video game I'd ever seen
>remember dad getting frustrated with the crying baby level
>caves in and buys the giant strategy guide
>finally beats the game
>says it was fun
>years pass
>he's become a debilitated alcoholic similar too Max Payne 3

My dad just recently built my gaming pc from scratch and designed the whole set up. He bought my brother a recording set up as well to do his dumb little lets plays. He writes these christmas letters every year that are supposed to be from santa (have a younger brother) and in them he always says these things hes too afraid to say out loud otherwise ans I always sob like a baby. In this years he said that everything he ever wanted to be has been actualized through me and my brothers. He had a heart attack this year and I just remember listening to the little hum of that computer every night, trying not to think of him in the hospital. It's funny that I could care so much about a little fan, but every time I get overwhelmed I try and think of it. Dads are good, for the most part

my dad showing me how to fuck Hooker in GTA vice city.

>N64
>4 player split screen Mario Kart 64 with parents and sister

I F Y O U K I L L H E R Y O U C A N G E T Y O U R M O N E Y B A C K

Me, my dad, and my brother all taking turns grinding through Neverhood takes the top spot, easy.

My mother would watch my brother and I play SNES when we were growing up; not all the time of course, but whenever she would have free time she would sit nearby and watch us while she read a book or something. She did this all the time to the point that even now she still remembers most of the OSTs, especially all of SMRPG.

Portal 2 co-op with my dad a few years back.

My mom played Shenmue 1 and 2 with me.

My mom and dad never cared for playing games, but they were always supportive with buying me games and consoles growing up. I enjoyed playing games alone anyway The solitude when everyone was gone and/or sleeping made the game feel so immersive.

That game proved at last I have the brain of an ant who can't into solving puzzles.

Wtf ?

Look again, those are bars. Look around the window frame.

My dad "helped" me with Ghosts 'n Goblins once, but he didn't make it past the graveyard (while I was consistently making it deep into level 3) and that's it. My parents always hated games with a deep passion, and the few friends I had almost never came over since I lived far from school, so I mostly played by myself. I think that's why I generally prefer singleplayer games over multiplayer games to this day, even when the games main focus is the multiplayer part.

The fuck is wrong with your dad

my sister playing through all of the tomb raider games on ps1 and handing me the second controller so i could 'help'

shooting a man in the penis or the balls is a shameful act

My mom hates videogames and my dad is the kind of guy that only understands sports games or quick stuff like Crash. If he sees a minute long cutscene then it means I'm wasting time with pointless stuff

Right here, brother. My dad brought a 'pirated' version of Doom home on like 7 floppies. Told me if I could get it to work on our shitty Goldstar 386 we could play it. Figured it out. Played it. Good times were had.

dad was a bouncer who used to play shooters and shit casually because he knew I liked watching them
>was always bummed i never played sports or lifted weights
>used to play desert storm co op or someshit on ps2
>he died when i was 16
>8 years later I'm now a personal trainer with my mum in the gym they owned
>she told me he'd be proud of me last week

miss him desu senpai

My fondest has to be when i was a spergy 6 year old,my dad and I would play wii games on a pretty regular basis. He'd never get frustrated when I would start physically crying over my lack of skill.

>6 year old,my dad and I would play wii
