One thing my daughter may never get to experience.
is to go to a local arcade. we had some when i was young but now..
there's none.. 

If you travel to a larger city, stop by a Barcade. They don't card during the day time. Mommy and Daddy can get a beer and good food (well, at least the food is good out here) and you can show her the wonder of arcades.

Only thing that sucks is that it couldn't be a common occurrence.

What does"they don't card" mean?

"Persons not of drinking age are allowed on the premises," i.e. they're not required to show an ID card to get in.

IIRC, in Canada children under the age of 18 can't be in any establishment that allows smoking, right?  "To card" would be "to check ID to make sure you're 18" (or for bars here in the States, 21).

Not a kid per se, but here's my wife picking up Dragon Spirit after a few months hiatus.

Dragon Spirit.

CLASSIC.

Lots of folks complain about the large hitbox and the difficulty of Dragon Spirit, so I respect your wife not whinging like some of the folks here at pcefx (THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE, THE WHINGERS).

There are some amazing songs in PCE Dragon Spirit, but, sadly, the SFX of guns + bombs will preempt a channel of the songs, IIRC.

Still great music, and at least the SFX aren't super-loud and annoying like some other games.

My 5 year old son only really know "dads old games".  He has his own NES with some games and a Wii.  He loves the sports games and Hockey on the Wii.  He loves Paperboy, SMB and Turtles 2 and 3 on his NES.  He does like Turbografx too (I'm trying to get a broken one up and running to give him) because he likes that "Bonk head" game and Bloody Wolf, where you shoot stuff.

He also likes Shenmue but usually he just sits and feeds money into a capsule machine the whole time. Mini collectard.

Wanna play a game of lucky hit?

Don't check ID
