Title: Parenting win
Post by: mitsuman on December 11, 2014, 08:06:10 AM

Pretty decent article about how a dad decided to teach his son about classic video games before he was exposed to modern day gaming. Except he left out proper obeying.

Here.  (http://kotaku.com/father-makes-son-play-through-video-game-history-chron-1669616589?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow)

Ha! My daughter REALLY got into video games with Galaxian! Then Galaga. My cousin has a Galaxian cab and she and I played it for hours (we neglected other human beings, which wasn't the best lesson).

I didn't force her to play stuff in chronological order, though. But I did keep her grounded in, mostly, 80's and early 90's arcade/console games.

She totally appreciates the old stuff.
