Who here has kids?

[oblivion2888]

and how old are they? and what computer games do they play if any?

 

[Rebels7]

I have one, however, she just graduated from college in May and is not into the gaming scene!!

 

[Yeeny]

I have three, and the only games they play are Solitaire, and some educational games I have gotten them. They are young though, so I really don't like them to play alot of the games out there.

 

[Bleeding Jawa]

I have two dogs that "think" they are kids. Do they count?

Lara, my greyhound likes to play: "Run Through The Mud At 45mph & Jump In Daddy's Bed." She plays that game almost every day.

Monty, my Whippet likes to play: "Lick My Nuts & Give Daddy a Big Kiss." He got addicted to that game, so I got him neutered last week. :|

When they aren't enjoying those games, they like to play "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."

One three year old, any of the "jumpstart" series.

Ornery: Your kids are adorable!

Thanks GF, but that pic is a few years old. My oldest will be driving in a year and a half. The younger one is 9 and just got bit by a dog today. He also has a cold and his asthma is acting up. Poor guy has had a rough weekend

BTW, we've got a couple PC's networked so they do trash each other in Quake when their mom isn't around. When she is around they play ChessMaster or some such educational hoohah

Great pic Ornery.

My 12year old son can whoop me at most games. I dont let him play much anymore

Now my 5 year old can master most programs in a few hours. But she realy likes Blues clues or any of the Barbie programs. She will spend as much time as I will let her at Zoog Disney

 

[Mday]

no children want them though (i am still young)...

hey rebels7, my sister graduated from college in June, small world huh.

my cousins are nuts...

 

[Ornery]

Tell me about it, Chris. When our older boy was about 6, he would help me design Doom levels. Then he would plow through them like a mad marine, while I got plowed under like a submarine!

I've got three. Their ages are 14, 13 and 9.

The 14 year old likes to play Rainbow Six and some others. I downloaded the trial version of Quake Arena the other day and had a blast playing it. I was thinking of getting a neighborhood thing going so I asked my son if any of his other buddies in the neighbor hood liked to play it. He says, "No, Dad, they're too busy trying to earn a living." Dissed by my own son.

My 13 year-old likes to play Solitare.

The 9 year-old likes to sit on my lap and help steer when I play Moto-Cross Madness 2.

Got to think hard here (a senior moment!) . . .

Son#1 is 35, lives in San Jose, and works as Sr. Tech Writer for Mentor Graphics. He's a gamer, but I don't ask and don't tell. He has 2 kids . . . 4 and 2 . . . big on "Blue's Clues."

Son #2 is a cellist with the Tulsa Philharmonic . . . I think he's 29. He plays mostly sports games (FIFA Soccer, NHL Hockey, Etc.)

I built both of their computers for them. I'm getting specs for their next machines already.

I got 4 Napster junkies. 3 girls and a boy 8 to 23

I've learned everything there is to know bout trojans and virus's
Brats will download anything.

I've got four kids: boy (age 8, almost 9), girl (7), boy (5), boy (1 1/2). They don't play many computer games, although the oldest two are learning piano through "Piano Discovery."

The five year old and the 1 1/2 year old design hardware for the Department of Defense (j/k).

 

[~zonker~]

Two kids.. Philip(6) can beat Dad at Monolopoly and Aggrivation, Paul (5) would rather charm someone into a hug than anything else, but he'll play along too...

Computer games? Those Tonka games (Rock Raiders was BIG) and the Blaster series are pretty big hits, also the Sonic Series for PC's are high on the list.

Just like when I was playing computer games, the good ones hold their interest for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months and the lousy ones last just a dew days.

 

[Lalakai]

6 kids. 2 cotton and 4 polyester (2 biological, 1 adopted, 3 foster).

doom is a favorite for one, but the 3 oldest all thoroughly enjoy the educational games. The youngest 2 like to scribble and doodle with the paint-pad. My 13 year old uses email and icq alot but gratefully doesn't seeme interested in the chats.

 

[GMan450a]

I've got 2 boys (7 & 5) and they love to play a game suite by "After-Dark" with "Roof Rats" and "Roger Dodger". They would love to play Quake III or Half Life (like Dad) but Mom thinks that it might be too violent for them..."Nice Head Shot Dad!!!"...

 

[jbaj007]

Two girls...9&7 yrs. Educational games and trying to regedit their computers to get "unbanned" from Napster.

I have a boy and a girl here. My son is three, he likes the "jumpstart" series, so I know what SHUX is talking about. My daughter is 2 months old, no computer stuff yet.
