Kane99 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Basically what the title says. Have you ever got a family member or friend who wasn't into video games at all, but got them into playing them and maybe even liking them? My dad for example is not tech savvy at all. In fact, he rarely touched video games or computers. The only tech I'd say he's familiar with is mostly using a VCR. But, last Christmas I ended up getting my dad a tablet, and he now uses the thing a ton to play 8 ball pool against my mom. In the past he was always against it, and never understood why people play them. Now he can't get enough of it. Just wish I could get him to try games on consoles instead, but I highly doubt he will ever do that. Though he did say he was interested in trying VR. So that should be fun! 😄
Reality vs Adventure Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Get him drunk on football game night, afterwards plug in your system and pop in a non thinking game. I did that as a teen with my step dad. He drank on football sundays and at the time I had sega genesis with John Madden Football. Next thing I know he is laying on the ground with pillows playing my Sega when nobody is around. MF Was a fun football game. Withywarlock 1

My father isn't much of a drinker these days, kind of put it behind himself, but I could try to get him to try some games. There's a ton of games that I could get him to play that would be easy even for him.
killamch89 Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 My dad was never much of a gamer but back in the days, I got him to play Mario 64 and he actually liked it.
Patrik Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 It wasn't mine but my dad's decision, he saw me playing a trucking simulator and decided to give it a try as he was a trucker in real life, he was soooo bad that he started the typical "gaming is for kids" thingy again 😄
Kane99 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 I almost got my uncle to play a game once, I think it was call of duty. He thought it was cool how real it looked, but he didn't want to try it out.
Withywarlock Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I distinctly remember getting my mum to help me with Donkey Kong Country and Plok! on the SNES. Bless her, she was trying her best to get constructive things done while dad worked and I waited for 144 FPS to be invented. When my mum was working, it was Duke Nukem and Resident Evil for dad in between watching sports. Edited February 9, 2021 by Withywarlock
Heatman Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 It was actually my kid brother why used to be a cartoon or animation freak. I managed getting him to start watching football before I introduced him to gaming and he fell for it big time.
