My dad definitely understands games. When I was really young he would play Genesis games both by himself and with me. Hed face me on the first Mortal Kombat and I remember him getting really far (if not completing) that old hard Lion King game.

However after that he didnt really pay much attention to games until I got a 360 in high school and started talking to him about Xbox Live. He said it sounded really cool and wanted to try it. So he started playing CoD 2 and then 4 (hes really into military stuff having been in the Marines) quite a lot, both multiplayer and going through the campaigns. I dont think he ever really was great at the games but he seemed fairly competent at them.

That went on for like a year-ish but eventually he lost interest. He tried very recently to play some newer shooters when I gave my parents my old Xbox One to put in the living room but for some reason he couldnt get the movement down this time.

My mom on the other hand has never really played anything. She told me the only video game she ever played was Pac Man in the arcade sometime in the 80s. Occasionally shed see my playing a game in my room when I still lived with them and would tell me it looks cool, though.
