My dad strongly approves of gaming. He knows I want to be a game designer, so he encourages me as much as possible. He likes to here about all of the different games I play, and he plays a few casual games on his Wii.

I play COD4 with my father every Friday night, along with my wife, my two brothers and my brother's wife. My dad has his own 360.

since he's an engineer, he has a passion for computers and that kind of stuff. He doesn't play games, but he has downloaded a bunch of NES emulators like Sonic and Mario for me. Not sure what his opinion on games like Gears of War is, but I wouldn't say he hates gaming.

My pops bought me/him a Pong, 2600, Intelivision, NES, Saturn, and on and on. He's always been cool with my gaming, and now as an adult any holiday I get a GS or Best Buy gift card for games. He doesn't play much, just Tiger Woods golf when he comes over sometimes.

I believe it was my dad or it can be my mom or both, not sure, that bought me my first gaming system and that was the NES. I haven't lived with my dad for like 15 years now so I wouldn't know his attitude about gaming now. But I think he would feel indifferent or have no real feelings towards gaming.

My dad was never too fond of games besides mario kart.

But my mam on the othr hand. She watched me play mass effect one day and she started getting kinda interested and before long she was asking me to play or if she had missed somthing then shed ask what happened. Then she watched me play resident evil 5 and she actuall managed to help me through some of the game. And now shes watching me play okmi. The next step is to actually get her to play the games

He doesn't care about it. But I do remember that back in the N64 days he would play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me.

My father has been dead since I was 4. He was a big football player in our town so he would probably be like negative towards gaming and would want me to do some sport;P

My dad loves games, he's a big Resident Evil fan and God of War fan. Just like me:) But he randomly plays cause he has to work a lot.

My dad doesn't play games, but he fully supports it as a hobby of mine. It was him who bought me a PS3 the Friday after they came out in the UK. He said it was a "family" thing, but really, it was clearly going to end up migrating upstairs to my bedroom. ;)

My dad likes old school games, but finds the current controllers too complex and confusing. I must look into getting him a Wii.

My dad used to play games with me when I was younger. He could probably beat anyone on this board at the original suer smash bros for N64. Once games got "complicated" he stopped playing them with me. Then again, I didn't really want to play with him anymore since I was older and was becoming distant from my parents.

My dad got my into gaming even though he's not a gamer. He just played SNES with my sister and told me to come play and I've been hooked ever since. He buys games with me all the time though and he sees merit in it. Says it's better then watching TV and watching movies.

He thinks it's awesome. He sucks at it though. It was funny watching him try to play Oblivion. I was like "Dad, the rat is attacking you. Look DOWN." :P

My dad is OK with it, but for him, he thinks there's no point to it.

For my dad, enjoyment comes from socializing and reacting with people, so he can't fathom what I get out of gaming.

Considering my old man bought me a NES back in the days, and played mario brothers and duckhunt with me, i guess he loves gaming. Or he just loved to do something with me.
