My kids are growing up with what I grew up with
 

Not even gonna let them have anything besides and NES or SNES. They have to play the classics. N64 will be introduced at some point, as well as PlayStation. Also they will get a Game Boy with Pokemon Red and Blue when they are 8. Then once they're old enough to think for themselves they can do whatever I guess.

Your kids are gonna get their asses kicked when they go to slumber parties and try and play Playstation 8 or X-Box 1080.

My biggest fear is having one of my children drown in one of my isolation tanks.

Good luck. By then kids probably won't have any interest in the old stuff.

I introduced SNES and Sega to my nephew, and he loved it for a few days, but then he got bored and started playing Lego Batman again.

might be the best idea in the world today. not that there wasn't propoganda back than but most of it doesn't apply.

well if he cuts them off from knowing about them they might

I was champion at Nagano Winter Olympics '98 on Nintendo 64 whenever I went to slumber parties. But I didn't have one.

My mother didn't subject me to Pong and I'm very respectful of the history and concept of gaming. Just saying your best bet is to let kids play what the generation offers at the time.

it makes me sad there arent games like road rash and streets of rage. streets of rage especially. could play that forever.

Definitely grew up with Road Rash. First on friend's Genesis then on PS. Always had to hit Office McGrady with a steel chain
