My mom never wanted anything to do with computer games. My dad liked Lemmings, Worms and later Burnout on the ps2. He doesn't play anymore though since he won't accept the Steam user agreement. I gave him a ps3 years ago. I don't think he ever bought a game for it, just dvd/blu-ray player. He doesn't have a psn ID since again he won't accept the eula.



My parents didn't game much though I do remember my mom waking me up in the middle of the night when I was 5 though because she couldn't get through world 2-2 of Super Mario Bros. She was drunk, it was a school night, and I didn't give back the controller for at least 4 levels.



My mom won't look at anything other than Pac-Man, although she was inexplicably captivated by Treasure Cove some twenty years ago. My dad remembers playing Galaga, and we used to play Madden together.

I got them to try Wii Sports a bit back in 07. I don't think they cared about it.



My dad was a fan of Ready 2 Rumble boxing on my N64. Not anything other than that.

I challenged my Mom to bowling on Wii Sports Club, and lost :P. Other than that, she's never touched a game.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Galaga for my dad. It's a pretty fun game.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

My parents discourage me from playing video games, take it from there. lol.



Do Farm Heroes Saga and Solitaire count?



My parents are not gamer, but my dad enjoyed Rayman 2: The Great Escape. ^^
