Yeah, I installed TFD on the old XP machine for my brother, but my dad booted it up the other day and has been addicted to it. It's cool, I basically coach him and stuff. It's the first time I've seen him play a game by himself for fun.

Okay...

Well, I learned about C&C from my dad. Seems like you've done the opposite.

Lol, my dad's against RTS games. He much prefers shoot 'em ups.
He had a go at TS but couldn't get a grip, all of Doom on the other hand...

hehe, when i was 3 or 4 i used to watch my dad play td, when i was 4 i started playing it, i couldn't read, but i knew how to beat the levels from watching my dad, i've been hooked to C&C since, though now my dad is less into RTS's and more into crysis, bioshock etc, your situation is the complete opposite lol

I used to play on CnC, ever since it came out. I didnt understand any english, but my brother was a vivid player, and we'd play against each other on the PS1. I remember my first word being "GDI", lol.

My dad played TS, maybe twice. I watched him both times (I was about 4 or 5), and he let me play it. He never got back on for about a year I was so into it. Then I got my life back and stopped playing it so much.

I picked up the game after my dad got done with it, along with Starcraft XD

He prefers FPS type games anyway

He never really got into the whole RTS thing

My friend gave me a bunch of old games, one being Tiberian Dawn. I was hooked.

My parents don't play computer games, they just surf eBay... confused.gif

I started with Dune II, it was installed in my first computer (probably by my uncle; who also gave me a copy of TD latter).
My dad was hooked on TD, DooM II, and Warcraft II ATM. However he only played red alert twice, and didn't give any chances to other command and conquers, probably due to a game called starcraft (I still play it with him, but he isn't a really good player just a terran turtler that spams battlecruisers most of the time).
Anyways he won't play any newer games than starcraft (maybe with the exception of starcraft II lol.gif), since he says they're too fast/complex for him.

I remember just building 1 power plant, then building just a barracks, and then 500 tiberium refineries, and then being confused and asking my brother how he gets all the obelisks, lol.

My dad only likes worms, he doesn't play any other games.

Weird, eh?

The same thing happened to me, not only my dad though. My uncles and dad played it and I loved it after watching it some time. I dunno if I only watched TD or actually played it when I was 4 years or something, if I played red alert, or if it was Tiberian Sun. The game I remember I frequently started playing is TS, I think. When my TS was broken my dad installed RA1 and I was hooked on it. I can't remember if I had played it earlier. This was back in 1999 abouts tongue.gif

Good times... Still remember all the days and nights with pokémon xD

Yeah, Dutchy. There may be some people who has mams who play. But me mam is a slight technophobe. The only technology she likes is the cooker and phones and other stuff. She only just found out the goodness of messenger, lol.

Lol, my mom is unique tongue.gif She also has completely different strategies then I. She masses an army and rushes the enemy, while I use small groups to kill the enemy. She is beginning to use Artilleries now, which she learned from me tongue.gif
