Tron grandpa kinda looks like Monopoly guy

I do remember those games, Matthew. I played those games. And I am old. Now get off my lawn!

Tron'paw is displeased.

Yarr... not just Tron, but Rich Uncle Pennybags too!

Nice, funny story.
Hope it doesn't turn into some politically correct "acceptance" ending though, that's so old it's starting to smell.

Pops looks like a cross between a Tron character and Professor Moneybags.

Lol tron!

@ AckAckAck: His brother would probaly be an rts commander

@The Guy:  he'd probably beat it first try.  On hardest difficulty.

I'd like to see grandpa here try his hand at "I Wanna Be The Guy".

I'd argue that arcade games were the casual games of their day. The hardcore equivilant would of been text based MUDs.
Ofc these classics are now considered retro so anyone who goes the lengths to replay them would likely be defined as hardcore. I happen to own an arcade machine of Battlezone

You people are all OLD if you remember those arcade games! >:D

I miss arcades.

So...
Retro Gaming > Hardcore Gaming > Casual Gaming?

Ahhh, Gauntlet, Spy Hunter, Galaxian, Star Castle, Wizard of Wor, the list goes on and on...  If I had every quarter back I ever gave those digital succubi, I'd be Bill Gates Rich™.
But, then, I *was* the first person in my town to ever beat Dragon's Lair...
(I'd rather have the $$$ :) )

Ah the arcade/early console age.  I got a blister on my thumb from playing 1942.

Daddy Tron speaks the truth!
Street Fighter tournies were brutal, Defender was brutal, and Ghosts and Goblins ate up my cash like it was candy.
Granted today's competitive scenes have alot more nuances and require a larger time investment, but at least you aint paying money for every life!

So we have old man tron and heavy weapon guy son, who will represent early home consoles era? heavy big bro wearing plumber suit?

The Tron ref is making me wish Tron 2 the movie comes out soon.

Tron Grandfather makes me want to paly Tron 2.0 again.

Old Man Retro forgot to mention that most games back then only used a joystick and a button (maybe 2, only more for fightan gaems) and that the joysticks of old had enough resistance in them to give your forearm cramps from extended playing.

I miss arcade machines that threatened to bite off my penor...

I don't like character. D:<

TV Tropes, unsurprisngly, has an article on this. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KobayashiMario

Tron haha. i used to play on arcades, but im not that old...

Dude's about to cry.

I giggled.
