My mom was never a gamer, although I think she did play once or twice with Mario or something just to entertain us. My dad was a big gamer in the NES days and was also nice in the arcades but stopped after that era. One day when I was a senior in high school and living with him he brought home one of those plug and play joysticks and got me into Galaga. When he took me out drinking after my 21st birthday we found an arcade that had it and played it there, too. He was crazy good at those old school shmups and I want to show him the modern day iterations of them like Resogun on PS4.

Other than that, I think he plays smartphone games and when the DS Lite and NSMB came out, I let him try it and he just had this huge smile on his face, I think it really put him back in that mindset of the time.
