StaceyPowers Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Were there any specific video games that were banned in your household growing up? If so, did you find ways to play those games anyway? My parents banned all RPGs of any nature, whether video games, tabletop, or LARP. I played MUDs though, and they never knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 As long as I was silent and unseen, they didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 My parents never really cared what I played because it kept me occupied and out of trouble. Honestly, they even watched me play games like Mortal Kombat and they never seemed to mind at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's something that I learnt very well how do deal with my parents back then. I had to play my games most times around 2:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor1911 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Not banned actually, they had restricted my playing. Actually when PUBG was launched initially, I used to play almost 8 to 10 hours at a stretch. my parents were like "what the hell my son is doing in front of the screen whole day". Later they had strictly told me to play only for 4hours a day. Even at that time, I had grown eyesight problem for using the screen for that long time. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you got the punishment for that? 😆 But when PlayStation 2 was initially launched, the price was quite expensive. I only imagine how much money that kid had to Steal to buy that PS2? 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then playing GTA with mods to be a cop mostly, in RPing. All I can say that they have taken away Halo game from me, I spent so many long hours each day they got fedup with it.

The kid's family were quite rich they could afford such money easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My parents banned me from playing NASCAR Racing 2 until I got better at school. This was early 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My parents never really had much of a backbone, as long as we weren't doing something stuipd because of said game, they said nothing. Though my mom wanted to ban any gun and fighting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you will compromise with your study, obviously you are inviting trouble from your parents. 😆 At first, when my board exams results were out, it was far below expectations. Then I realised that, if I want to keep playing, my results should be good enough for my parents to be happy. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, when you fluff your grades, there is no way you would expect to be rewarded. You're getting gaming grounded immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
