Do many parents and grandparents actually use this site?

By looking at the testimonials it seems alot of grandparents and parents are on this site. Is that true? I find it hard to believe many parents, especially grandparents, know what an emulator, flashcart, or ROM is.

 

There used to be a survey held on the website to see what type of visitors we get. I can't seem to find the old news post on that anymore, however. But I remember that parents represented a large amount of visitors.

 

You have to realize. Today's parents were yesterdays gamers.

Maybe back in the early 90s, parents who played video games were rare, but today, teenagers of the late 80s and early 90s have children of their own who are wanting to play video games. Emulation gives them an option to allow their young children to play many games that are no longer available, which they themselves played as kids.

 

Thats pretty cool. I dont know many parents that know much about video games and my own are completely clueless so i was a little suprised

 

There's also some parents who download such things as Imagine 'games' for littlekids

 

Why parents who are or were gamers themselves, following on TirithRR's post would download the imagine series is beyond me

 

why is that strange??? i download games for my 4 year old and for myself....

 

Cahos just meant that no self respecting game playing parent would give their children those games,

 

i don't download those imagine games for my son i just ment that there might be more young parents like me here on the site

 

TirithRR got my point correctly, as a gamer yourself, you should learn to distinguish actual good games you can give to your kids seeing that at one point in your life your parents (or even you yourrself) bought shovelware games just because it looked "kid friendly" blargh!

 

We had Pokémon, Sonic, Mario, PacMan and Space Invaders when I was the 'kid friendly' age
No excuse! No excuse!
