Need Games!

Tetris got my dad started. I think it came out on the GameBoy. He loved it and it was never out of his hands. My mom tried to learn to play, but Dad was always on the GameBoy.
That is too funny. My mom never had an interest in games when I was a kid. Until we got a gameboy and she played tetris. I think she used it just as much as I did.
Tetris really is fun! 
It's not a new game, though, but it's new on Facebook and it's been getting positive reviews, so far. I am not familiar with new computer games, but you could try "Potty Racers 3.2," "Storm Ops 2: Desert Storm," or "Monster Truck Demolisher." These are our family's all time faves. If you also want mental games, try "The World's Hardest Game." It really is hard but so much worth your time.

Dads out there that loved video games back in the day, might enjoy playing them again using and emulator and ROMs. An emulator is a program you install on your computer that acts like another piece of hardware such as a game console, a different computer, or an arcade game.
My favorite emulator is called MAME. It emulates the hardware of classic arcade games. On you find and download the ROMs (file containing the original game code) and load them up in MAME, you can play all the classics such as Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, Zaxxon, Defender, and all manner of other retro gaming goodness The beautiful thing about emulators is that you're not just playing a re-creation of a classic game, you're playing the actual game!
People even go so far as to build their own arcade style cabinets with real arcade controls and load the insides up with a computer running MAME. Because classic games were pretty simple compared to today's games, it doesn't take a powerhouse of a computer to run them.
