My dad played just as much games as my brother and I did growing up (from the NES lasting up to the PS1, he would rent a video game every Friday without fail). His favorite genres was the scrolling shoot'em ups like 1942, gradius, r-type etc, beat'em ups (if I was playing co-op it was either with my dad or my brother), and sports games which I personally disliked but him and my brother loved. He used to clear 1942 on one quarter in the arcades so he played the hell out of that one. He hated rpgs though and used to joke that "all ya do is read", lol. *He used to rent them for me anyway though since he knew I liked'em*

He still regularly plays games today but he sticks to openbor beat'em ups on his PC and playing things like metal slug etc via emulators. He also owned his own BC PS3 he used to play PS3 and PS2 beat'em ups but that thing eventually YLOD'd. Got a slim PS3 to replace it.

My mom isn't about the life though. She played super mario bros. 1 time, fell down the first hole and never touched a console game since. She'll play stuff like Farmville, bejeweled, and a random quiz game on her phone but thats as far as it goes.
