How gaming-literate is your family?

Mine isn't. At all.
Post your own opinions.

my parents know zip about games, but my brother, my cousin and i are very game literate

It's limited only to me and my siblings, although my dad used to play Turbo Grafx with us and my mom, who had no prior video gaming experience, whipped my brother's ass at Tekken without even trying.

lol, when me and my uncle were playing NSMB mario vs luigi multiplayer, he got really annoyed because I kept winning!

my sister owns Double Dash and my brother and i are far better at it than she is

My mom plays Guild Wars.

My mom was the one who had bought the NES and SNES for herself. My uncle is the crazy gamer one:

My Dad Plays RPG's and Playformers, Alot of them, But he stays away from 3d Games 'Cause of Vertigo.

My brother only plays sports games (and sometimes racing) on his Xbox, so that should be a good indication of his literacy

My dad USED to play videogames (N64 and before), but it's pretty rare for him to do that now

I've only see my mom use a Gameboy twice, but it wasn't her choice

mario kart 64

1. PSP = PlayStation Portable, so she's close.
2. DS = is, indeed, a game.
3. ...Do you expect her to say "Game Boy Advance" everytime she makes reference to it? Hell, I consider myself pretty gaming-literate, and I still usually just call my SP a Game Boy.
4. The NSMB thing is just picky.

My oldest brother refuses to learn how to play anything higher then a SNES. But he plays GBA in iraq.

He says there are too many buttons on the controls.

My parents refuse to play anything unsimple.

Same with my older sister.

But my older brother is "anything goes" type (but refuses to play 2D metroid games).

EDIT: my parents and sis call DS a stick game (tikku-peli) because, you knock the touch screen with Stylysh.

my dad always uses link in ssbm and uses his b moves exclusively...

My dad played some old gaming systems when he was a teen. He is the one who got me into video games, since I was too shy to talk and play with other kids and also I'm a only child.

But he really like the sony products better for some reason. He was really into the whole graphics deal.

OH and my dad always uses Donkey Kong in Mario multiplayer games.

your post reminded me of that.

My mom used to play Yoshi's Island on the SNES. All the time.

My dad used to play SM64. All the time.

They passed their gaming interests to me.

My dad used to play SMB and Sonic 2, but now he doesn't play jack.

My sister tries to play games, but everytime she plays something that isn't a soccer game, she can barely play it. "Where's this Dustin?" or "OKAAAAY so what am I doing?" is all I hear.

My cousins love playing gamecube though and both are Mario Kart Double Dash freaks.

I'm pretty much the only gamer in my family that I'm aware of.

My sister is like...prejudice to games that are not Pokemon.
