Mostly if the game has no realistic graphics it's not worth to play. Sad but true... --- End quote --- My 11 year old kids favorite games are: Little Big Planet - PS3 Little Big Planet 2 - PS3 Minecraft - PS3 Infamous 2 Sandbox mode Super Mario Improvement (a homebrew SMB editor). I assure you his imagination is very much alive and well. But in general I agree with you. My son appears to be the exception not the rule. |

--- Quote from: bobster on August 01, 2014, 11:43:21 am ---To be fair, Super Mario Land is hard for even myself to even get into. Maybe if I pop it into the Gameboy Player it'd be different, but on the Gameboy it's kind of rough lol. I'd say Ducktales on NES would be a good candidate for kids to appreciate. It's not overly brutal, but not easy either. --- End quote --- I knew someone would say that about SML as soon as I posted this :), but it does bring to mind the effect of nostalgia on older people that kids don't have (yet). He does like Ducktales though. --- Quote from: dashv on August 01, 2014, 12:45:10 pm ---My 11 year olds list of likes. Maniac Mansion --- End quote --- I couldn't even figure out Maniac Mansion with a walkthough, lol. I got a talking-to from dad for running up a $40 phone bill calling the tip line for Day of the Tentacle when I was a teenager, thank god for the internet in that department! "Just one more, really quick" I kept saying. |

I like this topic. The Boy just turned 5 so I have some real insight on this one. Here's some of the old games that he is down with: Super Mario Bros 1-3 These are the go-to's Contra Kung Fu Turtles in Time Hyperstone Heist Sega Bass Fishing (with the fishing rod controller) |

It's been on my wishlist forever. Perfect father son 2 player game. |

I think the vast majority of kids (>=95%) can't appreciate systems or games that were before their time. I know it might be blasphemy to some, but I cannot get into anything pre-NES, and even most NES games have not aged well enough for me to get into (I was born in 1987 btw). Likewise, I kid born in 2000 probably has a really difficult time with any system that does not have at least PS2 graphics or better. It's just how things work for the most part. |
