kingcarr21 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 I've been trying to get my 9 year old daughter to play on the Wii more. I've got a variety of N64 games off the virtual console that I know she would enjoy but she always wasn't interested. I've finally convinced her to give Paper Mario a go. 10 mins in and she is hooked. I got home yesterday and she wanted to go straight on it to continue the story. Love the fact I can relive some classic games through my daughter. Now to convince her to play Zelda So are there any old games you would love your child to get into knowing how much you enjoyed them when you were younger?
CharlieCharles Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 GTA San andreas, Man Hunt and maybe the Saw game.
ramboacdc Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Got my daughter to play sonic mega collection on the xbox. she now loves all sonic games. but she would rather play toy story 3 or the lego movie game.
Bryn Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Pretty sure coercing your child into playing video games is child cruelty
kingcarr21 Posted 5 January 2016 Author Posted 5 January 2016 how is paper mario classic? As RPGs go it was very enjoyable. Different to the other types of RPGs like final fantasy. Hence why I see it as a classic. Not quite in the same league as the likes of Goldeneye etc but still a classic game in my eyes.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Most people i know don't remember it but their was a brilliant game an the snes called zombies ate my neighbors.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 I loved Zombies ate my Neighbours, great fun When I have a kid, they won't be allowed any new games until they've completed Alex Kidd in Miracle World (no emulators, no saves)

It's probably been out far longer than i think,i got told at the pub my juke box choices were a decade old at least!
MC Prussian Posted 6 January 2016 Posted 6 January 2016 The entire Mega Man series - if they make it out alive without damaging themselves, others around them, the console or the furniture out of sheer frustration, they've succeeded.
kingcarr21 Posted 6 January 2016 Author Posted 6 January 2016 fair enough. It's probably been out far longer than i think,i got told at the pub my juke box choices were a decade old at least! Think it was about 15 years ago it was first released. Im exactly the same. I pick a song and people say that song is well old. Im like nah only about 2 years old when in fact its about 8-9 years. Madness I loved Zombies ate my Neighbours, great fun When I have a kid, they won't be allowed any new games until they've completed Alex Kidd in Miracle World (no emulators, no saves) I had Alex Kidd in Shinobi World. Such a hard game. Would love to give it a go now.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 6 January 2016 Posted 6 January 2016 Pokémon Red and Blue. Any offspring that doesn't know you have to trade a Haunter for it to evolve into a Gengar is no child of mine.
kingcarr21 Posted 7 January 2016 Author Posted 7 January 2016 Pokémon Red and Blue. Any offspring that doesn't know you have to trade a Haunter for it to evolve into a Gengar is no child of mine. I've tried to get my daughter into it but to no avail. Saying that though some of her classmates are getting into it so there is still hope. A child who doesn't know who missingno is has failed in life
Bayfox Posted 7 January 2016 Posted 7 January 2016 Paperboy. No idea why. Just talking about it the other night. Got all nostalgic Oh and Swos

Bellend Sebastian Posted 7 January 2016 Posted 7 January 2016 Desert Bus, obviously. Sadly never actually released but it sounds terrific. http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/desert-bus-the-very-worst-video-game-ever-created I think my children would find it character building
Guest Posted 8 January 2016 Posted 8 January 2016 Speedball Warcraft 2 and 3 Baldurs gate Sonic the hedgehog In fact my son has played them all and enjoyed them.

Eight hours straight, then another eight hours back... Now that's a challenge. You can also play it on the web: http://desertbus-game.org/plain-index.php
Buzzell Posted 8 January 2016 Posted 8 January 2016 Yeah! that was good. I remember back in the day my mum rented the first PlayStation out with Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil from the 'Video Shop'. Those were the good old days.
Charl91 Posted 8 January 2016 Posted 8 January 2016 Warcraft 2 and 3 Baldurs gate Sonic the hedgehog Good shouts, was going to say BG2 and Sonic, but Warcraft 3 was also brilliant (especially if you include the custom games). Will also add Streets of Rage to that list.
Wymsey Posted 8 January 2016 Posted 8 January 2016 Mario Kart. Was quite addicted to it. Some decent games on here. http://mariokartgames.info/
