Not fun. Basically started with parents irrational conclusions of video games. Me and my siblings were punished for a year because my brother's friend got into a fight at school.  Obviously he learned that type of violence from our DK64, which made sense because we weren't allowed to have friends over. Eventually that year passed but our N64 broke, so we waited to buy a GameCube. I personally didn't play for another year because I was punished for my grade slip from an A to a B- average because I messed up a a huge science project, so I dedicated the school year and most of the next to nothing but grades. 

Wow, sounds like your parents were pretty hard on you guys. I can't believe they blamed the fight on Donkey Kong lol. I mean, blaming any games for fighting is ridiculous but a game like Donkey Kong 64? I owned that game, it was purely "E" for everyone in every since of the meaning lol.

yeah lol. Their attitude only got worse, but we ended up figuring out work arounds. It's a sour memory, but I think its made me want to be more appreciative of video games among other things. If I ever have kids and they like video games, I'm gonn make sure they are playing some quality ones with some quality time
