That’s my grandpa. He’s been playing Wario’s Woods on his Super Nintendo for over 25 years. How crazy/cute is that?

Not as amazing, but my Dad still plays Mario Party 1 religiously to this day. I tried to get him to play MP2 as a kid, he didn’t take.

There’s some evidence that playing games like these are really good for older people! Keeps them mentally engaged. It’s like brain exercise. Good for pop-pop!

My Grandpa was playing Dr. Mario on SNES daily all the way up to when he died in 2006. If he were alive today I wouldn’t be surprised if he would still be playing it.

I gave my mom a Gameboy DS forever ago with a copy of Brainage. She plays every day before she goes to bed.

My mum and sister absolutely adore that game. Modded it onto my SNES Mini for them to play if they want to, it’s wack the SNES version never made it onto e-shops, they’d only put the NES one on there!

My parents are about 50 now and they still love playing Zelda together. They’ll pass the controller back and forth and plan out adventures. Mom has trouble with the moblins so dad usually steps in lol

My grandpa just passed away this month. For decades he played super Mario world and dr robotniks mean bean machine religiously. I truly believed he could’ve speed run super Mario world, he was so good at it.

This honestly made my day. The passage of time is far too short and it is a wonderful thing to enjoy with our elders while we still have them.

Is he emulating? I don’t see the machine in the picture. Fix the aspect ratio of his TV. It will look nicer.

My grandma owns a N64, but isnt in a state to play anymore.

She played Super Mario, Yoshi, Legend of Zelda, Banjo and Kazooie (maybe im writing it wrong idk). It was a blessing as a child.

I’m probably just totally blind or oblivious (both is likely the answer) but where is his SNES? I can’t see it in either pic

My grandmother used to play Dr. Mario on the original NES every morning at 5am for so many years. It was part of her routine. She would play on the highest speed setting, which just looked ridiculous. My brother and I would try to play with her and just get smoked…I miss her. Your post is great.

I hate posts like these.

Nothing to do with the actual content, that picture is great, everything to do with reminding me that 1997 was 25 years ago. In my head that was still less than 10 years ago.

Very similar story. My grandparents played Dr Mario all the time and competed with each other’s scores on the hardest setting. They played it so much that the background of Dr Mario was imprinted on the tube tv
