Do you guys have any gaming grand parents? My grandpa got me and himself a super nintendo for christmas five years ago, and ever since he has been playing Mario every ten minutes (well, in between the races). His is going to be 73 and for christmas 1999 he got an N64, His fav. game so far is SM64. So tell me, do you guys have gamming grandparents?

just forgot he has 99* percent on SMW (it has a little star next to the 99. I don't know what he did, musta found a way cool secret or somthing.)

I don't have a gaming grandparent, but I intend to be one...

Oh, and it's not 99%, it's 99 exits. That's all of them, so he gets a star.

Unfortunately I do not have gaming grandparents. That would rock, though. Just imagine Christmas with gaming grandparents! Woo hoo!

My parents (and grandparents, I think) searched all over my state for an NES the first Christmas it came out to give me as a gift. They thought it was a fad...

This is the sort of action that gets you shot if you're not an already established member. So I propose we shoot you anyway.

I second.

Also, I tried getting my grandmother to play Super Mario 64, but she didn't get it. Same with my grandfather and Gran Turismo 3.

Well they obviously did at least once, unless your parents are adopted.

This thread gave me cancer.

My grandpa got me Diablo for Christmas... when I was nine. My mom didn't want to be seen entering a store with it to return it, so we threw just the game out after grandpa left.

I have played many types of PC games at my grandma's house, ranging from Bejeweled to Myst to Worms to American McGee's Alice. Her house is also the first time I played Half-Life.

Does Weegee know what Diablo even is?

Yes. I meant, anything besides the box.

As white as Weegee is, do you really think his parents wouldn't **** themselves at the sight of that? No offense to Weegee.

At the age of nine I was shooting dogs in Wolfenstein 3D and ripping heads off (spine attached) in Mortal Kombat.

Examining WeeGee's story, we can deduce that his grandpa was the last carrier of the coolness gene in his bloodline, failing to pass it on to ihs daughter.
