Also, forcing your kids to play your favorite old games assumes that your games were the best games.

They were fun in their day, but time moves on. Assuming that everything since you formed your opinions is inferior is some big boomer energy.

Let them find their own fun with their friends on their terms. Making your kids play your old crap with you is kinda sad.

I think Minecraft is boring as hell and I'm not gonna play it, but I'm not going to force my kids to play mega man 2 instead.
