Best decade of gaming

That's not a positive though. My kids will not come out of their rooms, both playing online nonsense with their friends. And hard to convince them when we have heat warnings every day.

My oldest pretty much plays Ark/Rust/Rocket League all the time. Contrast to when I was his age, we had a few regular games but played tons of different C64, Amiga 500, MSX and PC games together. (Of course piracy was rampant, less than 1% of the games we played were actually paid for. Hence NES/SNES were out). My youngest is a bit more adventurous with gaming but still mostly sticks to Roblox and Fortnite. Meanwhile I have about a thousand quality (physical) games in my collection ready to be played at any time from PS2/GC/XBox until now. They used to play some of those yet after getting addicted to online, no more... Yes online gaming does take over the lives of kids :/

Random question, but do you ever sit down with an old game (like even from Amiga days or NES days) and either of the kids come over and ask to play or watch?.

Both seem like they have their own favourite games, but I've always wondered if they would pick up after your tastes.

Also, do they spent more time online gaming versus what we grew up with? (single player/co-op).
