Post proof that you're passing retro on to the kids!

This isn't gaming-related, but I still think it qualifies.

I watched the last half of Back to the Future III with my soon-to-be three year old son today, and all the trains, cowboys, fast cars, guns, and flying trains provided a sensory overload that had him absolutely glued




He was so happy with the flying train in the final scene (and everything leading up to it) that he felt it was necessary to spontaneously dance through the end credits



There is something wonderful about seeing a kid experience unbridled happiness when watching (or playing) something that you too enjoy. For me, it was just like watching those scenes for the first time.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

So true! When my son and I finished TMNT he was super psyched to see his name on the highscore screen, and then immediately ran off to grab a stick and then pretended to be Donatello for like an hour. I remember doing nearly the exact same thing. It was so awesome to see.

Knoebels Amusement Park is five minutes from my house. And free. They have a half dozen or so pins.

I have also really enjoyed playing the new Spider-Man pinball table too, which they have there:
