What do you mean? I'm guessing your parents don't like you sitting by the computer ... Well, That's my case as well. They want me to socialise instead of sitting by it ...

What?! No! Don't be absurd, I'm literally referring to a 50ft squirrel that guards my computer from nine till five. I don't even have any parents, the squirrel ate them ages ago. I guess I'm the only one with this problem, I called an exterminator once but the squirrel ate him too. What am I to do?!

OK, Speaking of sisters, My sister is a gamer. I mean, Was, She doesn't have time to get around to it anymore.

But she wasn't an adveture fan ... She used to play a platformer called Super Giana Sisters on our old Commodore128.

The game was basically a straight rip-off of the Super Mario Brothers. All the levels were the same, But the character was a girl! I always asked her "Why don't you play the Original?" and she always replied "I like this one better!"

I guess her only problem with Mario was the fact that the main character was a man!

My mom wouldn't play one, but she knows of quite a few of them, and likes the Monkey Island soundtracks. My Dad has a hard enough time working his laptop. Poor guy.

It's quite disheartening to see so many people whose parents are as computer-challenged as they are in this day and age. I feel lucky to have been brought up by a technology buff.

My parents are only slightly behind my brother and I, technologically, but they both consider computer games a waste of time. Then they go play golf. Now that's what I call ironic.

You've just reminded me of the one game that my dad enjoyed playing with myself and that game was PGA European Tour on the PC. We had many a good round with those digital golfers *weepy sigh*. Alcoremortis, our memories combined would probably be the cause of a rift through time and space, due to the sheer overload of irony.

P.S. I tell a lie! I also had many a good gaming session with my Dad whilst playing Point Blank on the Playstation, using the G-Con45 guns.

... you know what? I guess my Father had far more respect for gaming than even he or I had ever previously realised!

Actually, I think I might even have a copy of one of the PGA Tour games. It was one of the few games that my mother ever bought me in the vain hope that I would become a golf fanatic after playing as digital Tiger Woods.

It didn't work.

If my dad were still alive I'd of asked him, and my mom kind of looked at me like. " There are other games besides what's on Pogo?"

Do with that answer what you may.

My parents were much the same. In fact, following my parent's gift of a set of colf clubs; I actually went on a one-on-one training course with the professional and famous golfer; Nick Faldo, via the winning of a Weetabix competition. Imagine my parents faces when they realised their sons disdain at this potential gift of a life time.

Heck, even Nick Faldo himself seemed a bit miffed when this un-enthusiastic 11 year old boy turned up for training... although I must say that he was an absolute gentleman. True story by the way, I swear on mine, my parent's and my cat' life to that.

After watching a documentary I created on video games, my mum has now embraced gaming. So far she only plays those casual 'hidden object' and puzzle games. But I'm sure I can wean her on to adventure games slowly. She has also expressed an interest to the Wii... quite promising.

Nongolfers Unite! Aside from the PGA video game, my parents just buy me clubs and drag me off to the course all the time. As long as I make sure to bring a book, it's all good.

My parents can use computers to a respectable degree but I am often used as free tech support! As for gaming, my dad doesn't other than on their Wii, and my mum plays her DS a fair bit as well as their Wii (but mainly fitness type stuff there) and she does like murder mystery type games, like the CSI games but simpler which is mainly due to the fact that she is really into forensics and stuff like that.
