    Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this Top 10. Let me know if you want more like this. In case you missed my Top 10 Video Games of ALL TIME video, here it is - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pp-o3Lqdhse4gdI.html I actually could probably do a sequel episode to this. There were a ton of games Dad hated that I loved. Let me know in the comments what other Top 10 videos you'd like me to do. Appreciate you all!

    Haha of course he did. He hated RPG games. To be fair, Super Mario RPG is rough to get into. Especially for me after playing Final Fantasy III SNES. It feels primitive, clunky. 🤙

    14:22 😁 Im 35 and even as a kid i only got into Pokemon because i love RPG games and not so much Pokemon itself. I thought it was insane to have 6 party members and over 100 to choose from. Besides, if your dad realized that a 10 year old Ash Catchem travels into the harsh world alone capturing animals and forcing them to fight for sport around the world then hed realize how dark and messed up Pokemon really is. lol

    17:17 Thats great parenting. As a music teacher i teach my students to keep an open mind but if you truly like something, then defend it no matter who says what. We dont all like the same music and no one can convince me not to like a song. Some kids might feel forced to agree or do whatever dad wants but instead it lets the child grow into their own personality with personal tastes and opinions. Besides, who doesn’t have guilty pleasures. Bubsy is a weird love hate relationship. Bubsy as a character is charming and so is the music. The games are just janky. My favorite Mario clone was Toy Story 2. Weekend rentals were stuff like Bubsy SNES when ganes were all gone and Gex did that for PS1 when everything else was gone.

His commentary over your childhood was always great. All the little remarks about games and consoles and the years and the history and weird ads. He def seemed pretty funny,quit witted and always willing to try and crack a joke or see the good in most things.

    My dad also hated The Simpsons. He typically called them The Simpletons. However, I do remember the one time he laughed during the show. The show was already running in syndication in the late 90s, early 2000s. I was watching it after school, and he had just come home from work and walked out into the living room to see The Simpsons episode that was currently airing. It was the beginning of the episode, and he saw Otto walk out of Stoner's Pot Palace. Otto, in disgust, said, "That is flagrant, false advertising!" My dad laughed out loud, and he said something along the lines that Otto thought it was for pot! It made me laugh and smile. He never liked the show. He never did anything like that again, nor would he watch it. I lost my dad 2 months ago, and this is still one of the memories of him that sticks in my mind. It was so ironic to for him to hate something and to see something that he laughed at while understanding the reference of Otto being disgusted. Things can still surprise you sometimes. I have to hold that one close

    My condolences on your dad's passing, as I am a recent subscriber. In my estimation, he deserves a spot in the Video Game Hall of Fame, for his enthusiasm and sheer brilliance to record all of these irreplaceable moments. My father passed away in 1999, when I was 19 - and even though he never played the games, he seemed to be just as enthusiastic about all of the games I played. He even introduced me to my very first video game ever - The TeleStar video tennis/hockey game (it was basically Pong). I'll never forget when he first saw Super Mario 64 and how blown away he was over the graphics. So cool.

    Man, it's insane how similar our stories are. I grew up in the late eighties to early nineties, I gamed because my dad is a gamer. My cousins who lived across the country got me into RPGs, my dad hates RPGs. We still text or call each other about new games coming out. He's 60 this year. Still gaming strong. That's my deepest connection to my love of gaming, and especially retro gaming. That was my most consistent bonding experience with my father. Video games. I'm glad to hear someone with a similar origin story.

But it did bug me immensily as a kid that despite that the face we spoke the same language and were the third biggest consumer of video games in the world, Nintendo still refused to release a lot of games here. I did (ahem) aquire a Super Wild Card for my SNES as I was so sick of being unable to purchase the games I wanted here, and importers wanted well over £100 for a game each time. Also my Dad pretty much hated every game ever except Great Golf and Shanghai on the Master System. :P

    New to your channel but I enjoy the VHS content & commentary from gaming in the 90's. In 1995 I was 32 years old, probably a similar age to your dad, so I fully understand the "cutsie" Mario games dynamic as I too preferred more adult games like "Road Rash", "Twisted Metal" & "Return Fire" on the original Playstation. Excellent points of the contrast of generational taste quite enjoyable!

    This is the first time I’ve ever subscribed to a KZread channel. My dad and I were a gaming duo as well, though he had me a little later in his life. I remember waiting up all night as a child, excited for him to return home from work so that we could continue our bouts of Joust, PAC-MAN and Q*bert on the Atari. I was born in ‘80. He was 40 years old then. So, by the time the NES released, I think games like Mario and MEGAMAN may have been too fast and complex for him to really enjoy. But, he would always get them for me and watch me play. This video definitely draws some parallels and has me reminiscing of that time in my life. It’s also yet another reminder of why I love Nintendo so much. I stayed up all night at my local BestBuy to purchase a Wii. For the first time in 20 some odd years, that system had us huddled around the television as a family, laughing and shouting as we passed the controller just like we did back in the day. He was well into his 60’s then, but that didn’t hinder us one bit. It’ll be 4 years this June since I’ve lost my father and there hasn’t been a single day gone by that I don’t miss him. He was my best friend, and there is no one on this earth next to my mother that ever would, or ever could love me more. Thank you so much for sharing this slice of your life with us, friend. The memories it gave me brought me great joy. I look forward to watching more of your content.

    I was 6 years old when Pokemon Red and Blue came out so naturally I got into Pokemon for the same reason every other kid around my age or older did, because it was insanely popular. I mean they had a game, tv show, card game that pretty much all directly tied in with eachother. In the show they would go to the same cities, fight the same gym leaders and catch the same pokemon that you could in the game, this made you feel very immersed into this pokemon world. Long story short these were the first rpg games i ever played so naturally it left a good impression on me as far as rpgs go.

    You are so lucky to come from a financially secure family growing up, and getting so many gaming opportunities, and it all being caught on tape. 🥰 I come from a really poor family, owning a video camera to us was what rich people did. And having so many games. Wow. You got more games in 1 Christmas than I did an entire console generation. I love watching your videos with your dad. Although poor and limited with games, I still loved growing up in the 80s and 90s. Gaming is my life and escape, still is. My dad always got me my games, and he got into gaming himself at the end of the PS1 era. So it's something we enjoyed, while not getting on very well as I was an angry teenager, and a bit of a d**k. My dad died in 2020 and I don't have a single video me and him together. Which breaks my heart. So seeing your videos is very bittersweet for me; you're so lucky your dad had that camera and it was on all the time. Your dad was an influencer before it was even a thing haha.❤ Keep up the amazing content. Lots of love from England.

    I wasn’t into RPGs either in my earlier years. It took a while to get into them because theres a certain understanding that’s required in order for it to make sense. But you also hit the nail on the head when you said that its the first RPG in a line full of platformers and a racing game.

    Yeah and also RPGs didn't really catch on in the US until Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation and before that they were pretty niche like they had an audience but not quite mainstream and the audience for those games were the DnD nerds to be exact like for example Final Fantasy IV (Or Final Fantasy II in the US) sold about 1.3 million units in Japan but in North America it only sold about 250.000 units

    My dad is the same way he doesn’t like turn based games. He says they are too simple and don’t feel rewarding for doing attacks. And whenever he saw me playing them he would say “How can you have fun pressing one button?” Although he does like the story of some games, like some of the final fantasy games he enjoyed the story of Final fantasy 8.

    As a Mario game- it's God awful. Final Fantasy games are awesome. Mario games are awesome. "Final Mario" or "Mario Fantasy" games; are not awesome. They literally take away everything that makes a Mario game fun, then replaces it with the slow-paced, turn-based, slog that is a Final Fantasy game.

I laughed at the moment where you said he was in the recliner with that look on his face of "noo, u actually like this" I have this same look every time my son is trying to show me some roblox game he is into... I try to support him but I hate those games lol... fortunately he really appreciates retro games and seeks them out on his own and asks me to show him the ones I played as a kid and we bond over them I just got done introducing him to Super Metroid he instantly told me he loves the music, I feel so fortunate to have this bond with him, it makes me relate a lot to your videos about your dad.

    Good video! My Dad for the most part didn't like any video games. He bought me an NES for Christmas 1988 and he initially showed interest in playing Top Gun and Mike Tyson's Punch Out, but he quickly lost interest and saw my video game hobby as an expensive nuisance, but he didn't stop me from playing them. Later, I got him to play Tecmo Super Bowl and WWF Wrestlemania Challenge, but he only played one short game then never played them again. I don't think he ever played anything after that, despite me later owning the SNES, N64, GameCube, etc. He was not interested at all in any of them.
