    		 As weird as it may sound my dad never was a
    video game fan untill I showed him Astro
    Warrior for Sega Master System.....

    I still find it funny to this day.. he tells
    me he could not stop thinking about
    Astro Warrior at work...!!

    He absolutely loved the game Astro
    Warrior...!!

    But a few days ago he asked me if I knew
    of any good flight simulator games or racing
    games...

    I told him no...

    I guess he's not really a addictive
    video game fan, but he wonders
    about them...!!

      		 My mom used to be a whiz at Laser Blast for the Atari 2600.

      My dad used to like Yars' Revenge...also for the 2600.

        		 My Mom was the Master at Tetris.

        However the first game i remember really playing was Dragon Warrior, because i played it with my Dad.. That was fun, and challenging!
        Considering i was like 7 years old at the time.

        Later my Dad helped me play the legend of Zelda.. Although it got to tough for him quickly.

          I remember one of the worse memories i ever had as a child.. teaching my mom to play nintendo..

          The actually teaching part wasnt so bad, the bad part was when i came home from school my mom would be playing tetris.. and wouldnt let me play, and the terribly horrible part was when i came home and the screen was on the stupid dancing guys.. she had beat Game B level 9-5 and kept it there to rub it in my face.

          Other addicting Adult NES games.. super mario 1, jaws and bubble bobble.


          Oh no, it got your mom too. That TETRIS fever I mean.....

          I remember my mom getting BADLY addicted to Videogames. When I was a baby in my crib, my mom and my two much older sisters would play Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Super Breakout on the Atari 2600 and just playing for hours and hours on end till she got a headache! My mom could kick arse at Super Breakout like nobody's business........just hours and hours of bing.........bong.........bing..........bong........bing........bing.........bingbongbingbongbing....

          Then I got a NES for Christmas of 1990, and about 4 months into that console, I got Tetris, and mom decided to try her hand at it....and like so, she started to hog the NES during Saturday nights. Before too long she was constantly warning me not to loose the 3M post-it's on the cartridge of her high scores (which were INSANELY high, she would get to levels 11 and 12 on a regular basis). I recall a score of 2-3 million if I remember right, it was so long ago.

          Then there was my older sister/babysitter, whom, on school nights, would tempt me badly by getting done studying for college classes early, and then go and play my NES while I tried to sleep. TIll almost 2 in the morning, all I heard were the sounds of Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda, Tetris, Ultima III, Dragon Warrior, and so on, while I was forced to sleep for school.
