Kids!!
« on: December 03, 2012, 04:35:11 PM »
Any of you have kids that just won't put down the Turbo controllers down?
My 5 year old started to play Air Zonk for the past 3 days... He won't even let me play haha, sure beats buying 60$ games and those skylander toys... I had to dust off my regular turbo so I can set it up in his room and I can play my Duo!! Glad this kid pick up some retro games.

Yeah he seems to only play the bonks series and some shooters, the one that I get weird about is that he seems to like timeball a lot??! Yeah I'm confused on that one but he likes it..

My 13 year old is so wrapped up in 'skyrim' and 'call of dooty' and his XBL and online friends and 3D HD grafx that he hardly plays Turbob with me anymore.  Sometimes I can still get him to play 5 player bomberman with us which is fun as heck!  The younger kids all really dig turbo as long as it's multiplayer games, so we try to do mostly Bomberman, Dungeon Explorer, Panic Bomber, and some 2-player Bonk 3.  With a possible deal with Nec.game.head to snag his battle royale coming up, we should have another excellent multiplayer game to play!!

It's funny, my younger kids aren't worried about HD grafx, but my oldest is all about that stuff.

My kids love Bomberman 93 and 94. They also love playing Street Fighter 2 and Battle Royale and for some reason one of them really likes Sonic Spike.

No kids of my own, but my nephews love playing Bomberman '94 and Parasol Stars when they come over.

17 and 14 year old boys...both are slaves to new games (Skyrim and WOW to be precise). However, they have both taken shots at Y's and will sit and watch me try to figure out the Japanese script on my copies of Might and Magic 1 and 3. I think that once I get MM3 again, they will give it a stab. The 17 year old is intrigued by the menu system and how "complex" it is. When I heard him say that, I took him upstairs, booted up the old 386 and played the first dungeon in Ultima 1...yes, on a 5.25 floppy. He was bonkers over the complicated nature of the old games but sat there while I fought through the dungeon and paid close attention.

I don't know what, as a 12-17 year old, I would have done with Skyrim or Prototype or Halo 4...hell, any of the newer adventure/RPG/FPS games that are out now. To me, THEY'RE complex and unwieldy.

I have 3 daughters, 15, 10 & 3. Once in a while we play bomberman 94 together other then that only my 3 years old pick up a turbo controller with me. She can tap on button I & II, she'll still figuring out the d-pads. However, she can master those damn touchscreen devices.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

My kid is the same.  He's 3 and not a master at the d-pad.  He likes Bonk, but he hasn't mastered using the d-pad and the buttons at the same time.  So he'll either move left and right, or stand still and just jump.  It's still a lot of fun to watch.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

My oldest son (5) loves Bonk, Bomberman, and has played a bit of Parasol Stars. I'm hoping to get him into Dungeon Explorer soon.

But right now, his main obsession is Skylanders and whatever Mario game he can get his hands on.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!
