What games will my son play?
Wobachuki \| 3:38 PM on 11.28.2007	10 comments

Eh, I couldn't think of a decent title so that'll do.

Being an avid gamer that's recently become a father has made me think back to my first video game experiences.
Some of my best memories, gaming or otherwise, are of me and my dad staying up late playing favorite titles like pac-man, defender, missile command and later on Rush'n Attack.
It makes me wonder what games will look like in another 5-8 years. What genres will have thrived and which ones will have faltered?

But as a curious bastard waiting for 5 o'clock to get here, I wonder aloud, "What are some of your favorite memories as a neophyte gamer?"

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Atama Yama was a delightful surprise when watching The Animation Show.

Heretic = Asshole.

If you have a Wii start him off on the classics.

aww, I'm sorry I must've missed that memo.
From now on I promise I'll put coversheets on my TPS reports, honest!

I remember playing a lot of NES and Sega with my couisn
SMB3, Adams Family, Little Nemo, Aladdin, Sonic games, Ren and Stimpy game

then I didn't play games for a while, then I got a N64 and it was Goldeneye, Star Fox and the star wars game that was on there.

Start him off on Katamari, that'd be kinda weird

Clockwork

Well....since Microsoft is going to leech the series until its as dry as your grandmother's vagina, you'll be playing Halo 8 with your son.
