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

A bit of Daytona on the Saturn,

(I had told my youngest that after the racing game we were going to "shoot stuff" on the TV (Virtua Cop 2 w/light-gun), so he got his toy gun out to ready himself for the upcoming "action". )

My oldest son playing Mushi Futari 1.5:

Here is at the end of stage 1 - as you can see, he hasn't died yet:


He usually gets overwhelmed 1/3 of the way through stage 2 but has made 2nd boss a few times.

We've long since established that Mj doesn't believe in continues

lulz.

...but, yeah, true.

Also true, my son 1CC'ed Zanac Neo last year; so far his only ALL (well, he did beat DDP DFK 1.5 on novice too, so technically he has 2).

I like this thread. I don't like that it has fallen off the front page. So I will post some pics of my daughter playing retro games through the ages.

She's a lot older than that now though (about to be 17). Although I provided her with ample video game equipment, she has gone the way of mobile. All she cares to play on now is her iPhone 6. I offered to buy her a 3DS when it came out but she wasn't interested.

I tried dudes, I tried.

Awe, excellent pics man - thanks for sharing.

Cute kid Exhuminator. Glad to see she's using a Game Gear AC adapter and not running up your battery bills.
