What are some games your parents play?

My parents aren't really huge gamers but they have played a few titles over the years.

My mom loves the Might & Magic series but doesn't like the newer ones from Ubi Soft very much. Her favorites are Heroes of Might & Magic 2: Gold, Heroes of Might & Magic 3: Complete, Might & Magic VI, VII, VIII. Other games she has played is Stronghold, Majesty, Myst, and Schizm.

My dad doesn't really play games but he loved Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny back in the Dos days but hates anything horror related so never got into Doom. He has no interest in the new Wolfenstein: The New Order, but he occasionally plays Return to castle Wolfenstein. He plays Heroes of Might & Magic 3: Complete with my mom sometimes but unfortunately that games multiplayer seems really broken.

This is going to be disappointing.

Pong.
Donkey Kong.
Anything that involves customizing vehicles and racing them.
Casual mobile games.

My parents play mostly Bubble Witch.

I tried to get them interested in the games that I play. I let mom watch me play Portal and she kept complaining about how GLaDOS' voice was annoying. I let my dad watch me play some of my Xbox titles and he tells me to play some of his driving games. I did; never enjoyed them. The only driving games I really liked were Destruction Derby 64, Crash Tag Team Racing, Simpson's Road Rage, and Hit & Run. I let him watch me play Serious Sam and gets bored because of all my exploration to find secrets. I let him watch me play Half-Life 2 and he tells me he doesn't understand what the f is going on story-wise. I let him watch me play Destroy All Humans! he makes constant jokes on will I "destroy" my family. A lot of other games I play, they just find annoying. Too much backseat gaming and they're not interested in what I play. Not a lot of people in my family play video games and only my younger but not youngest brother, out of the family members that do, plays almost the same games I do.

My Family used to play Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort all of the time, And my dad and I used to play the Tiger Woods PGA tour games a lot too. Sadly my Wii took a dump 3 years ago and now I'm stuck with a Wii mini that has no wifi capability...

My mother doesn't, unless you count Solitaire. My father used to be into Mario and Spyro, but is now playing nothing but action and FPS games.

My dad used to play when I was younger, he was super into the NES...then he was into SNES for a while, but not much after that. He plays the Wii sometimes, but mostly just bowling and golf.

My mom plays Farmville if that counts @_@

The only games my mom played that I can remember are Myst and the you don't know jack series.

My dad doesn't really play games. He used to occasionally play Doom 2. I remember him playing GTA III for a little while along with return to castle wolfenstein.

My dad and I used to play SSBB all the time...
My mum doesn't play any video games with me, and trying to talk to her about them is almost like talking to a wall.

Boring candy crush or veggie crash saga. Well I'm shocked that my mom plays any video games at all, I never would have thought she would in a million years. My dad plays scrabble on the ipad which I sometimes play versus him and win everytime.
