I’d be really curious if you did a deep dive on what specifically your dad didn’t like about RPGs. Was it the gameplay? The themes? The length of them? Super curious.
Really good idea!
I think you are a bit older then me. And I'm surprised your dad didn't like it. But Pokémon was my childhood. My very first Pokémon game was Pokémon Yellow. And I also played it to death. I didn't had a super gameboy but I still had a old fashion original gameboy. And I'm still a big Pokémon fan to this day. I can't imagine a life without Pokémon. Ok I don't wear the merchandise anymore like I did when I was 10. But I kept buying the latest new Nintendo handheld systems just to play the new Pokémon games. Even till this day. I bought a Nintendo Switch so I could play Pokémon Let's go. And Phantasia was one of my favorite movies as a kid. That's the movie that got me in to classical music. Especially Beethoven. I can talk about Beethoven till I'm blue in the face.
@razielquorzar Yeah I'm pretty sure his father would love that his son is able to both share all the memories they made with the world as well as have a stable income to support his family.
I can't believe your subscribe back start at 10k until now! Good work. Your father is just kind of opposite of your opinons which he like it or not, but you still playing whole of them.
My dad was also the one who introduced me to gaming. We belonged to a lower income family here in the Philippines and in order for people to play video games in the 90s was to rent it on an hourly basis. My dad introduced me to Super Mario in 1992 when I was only 3 years old . He had no interest in gaming but he wanted me to experience what other rich kids enjoy. Sadly, he passed away in 2003 and I will always be thankful to him for introducing me to the amazing world of video games. I also appreciate this channel as it takes me back to the time when my dad bring me around to try new games even though I really had no idea that he's saving up money just for me to play some games on weekends.
That’s awesome! Sounds like he was an amazing father. May he rest in peace. Have a blessed day my friend
Your dad was amazing!!!
We used to rent a console as well in a small arcade, it was like 20 pesos per hour for sega genesis or snes. Me and my cousins would play the whole afternoon, we usually play street fighter II or MK. Good times! Cheers to our parents for giving us an amazing childhood!
Your dad was a super dad, bless him. 💯
You should do an interview with your mum one day talking about all the video games they bought you and if she liked being filmed all the time. So lucky to have all these memories on tape. 👍🏻
Great idea! I did one with her like this before if you do some digging. Just search My Retro Life Mom :-)
@@MyRetroLife Great. Found them. Will watch later. You had the best dad. What a guy! All the best from the UK mate. 👍🏻
Love these vids so much!! My dad just got over his cancer they were able to cut it out. He felt better watching these vids with me.
That's amazing! I'm very happy for you and your Dad. Great news.
Your dad sounded like the coolest dude. He was 100% an OG gamer.
The real value of bad games are the funny nostalgia videos people make about them 10-20 years later.
How was YOUR experience with WoW?
Forgive me if this sounds weird Tyler, but your dad reminds me of my mom. My parents divorced when I was a baby and she worked hard for us. She bought a Super Nintendo which we had for several years, then a PS One Mini with the attachable LCD screen in 2001. I played other systems at friend's houses. She couldn't afford much else but she would save up money for quarters and take us to arcades. My dad would also take me to arcades on the weekends we were together to enjoy the games he grew up with (and the ones I liked) but when I was 10 in 1998, he bought me an atomic purple Game Boy Color with Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Pinball for Christmas. It was a big game changer (pun intended). Not long after I received Pokemon Crystal then the Game Boy Advance. My grandfather retiring from Alcoa here in 2000 took my PC gaming experience from casual to hardcore and he was still tinkering with PC until he passed in 2021 at 85. Anyway, my dad bought me the types of games that you mentioned because I liked them, though he was never interested. He wanted the stuff from the late 70's and the 80's. My Mom, even though she couldn't afford much, enjoyed games with me. Her last favorite system was the Nintendo Wii that she played the crap out of while watching her favorite show The Office until we lost her to cancer in 2011. I've said this before, but thank you for your retro videos. Alot of my childhood recorded on VHS is gone because of greedy family members taking everything and destroying most of it after my grandfather passed. I was so hurt by it that my grandparents showed up in a dream telling me that the good memories I have of them are far more important than the physical items that were lost. Now my dad is the only parent I have left and he plays alot of retro and arcade games through emulation with his grandchildren (my sons). I only hope my mom is watching over the grandkids she didn't meet on this side of the grave (my firstborn and only girl lived 6 months and I have no doubt they're together right now. It's awesome to see you honor your dad and know that you yourself are a father. I can relate to this 100%. We honor those who have gone before by giving a good life to the future of our family. You are doing an awesome job.
I stand firmly beside your father on this one. Could never get excited about RPGs or Pokemon. Great channel though buddy. So nice to be able to time travel back and share time with a wholesome family who just loved games like so many of us did
Thanks for watching man!
I agree, rpgs or Pokemon just sorta annoy me, mainly because my dad forced them so much on me when i was growing up, he was a bethesda fan and a pokemon fan and it sorta just drove me up the wall.
Also i beat Pokemon red, but considering it seems like pokemons story telling can be lazy at times or not changing that much, thats just how i view it, like Red felt similar to future releases, and i just realized it wasnt for me. Since it didnt feel like they were doing much i cared about at the end.
I think it's really cool that you memorialize your dad in this way and share the memories you made with us.
It's very cool to see the positivity he had, and the traits he passed down to you shows.
My dad's biggest regret was that me and my brother had any type of computer/console AT ALL! We were hooked but he always felt we should be doing more traditional things like "going outside" and playing football or cycling etc haha
It was TORTURE playing through these games again! Hope you enjoyed the video. In case you missed it, here's a similar Top 10 I did a while back "Top 10 Games Dad Hated That I Loved" ua-cam.com/video/vcNC8HoqoTI/v-deo.html Thanks guys! Have a good one.
Also hate Pokémon games, grew up in the 90s so we played the same stuff Tyler. Your dad had awesome taste in games. I loved my Sega cd, had turbo but not a lot of games while it was released. I never got the Jaguar but your dad was smart and bought them as they died out in stores. I wish I had the sense to hold on to more games but I always traded all my games for that next hot system. Fave Sega cd games, Road avenger, Silpheed, Snatcher, Willy Beamish, Sonic cd
Hey Tyler I wanted you to know your one of the people that inspired me to start making video game retrospectives and more on UA-cam, I don’t mean to plug myself but if you want to check it out that be awesome! Don’t expect something so high quality I use the tools I have and I don’t have the best speaking voice because I have a miled stutter. But if you want to check it out I’d appreciate it! Always here support you man no matter what! :)
Thanks man I’ll definitely check your stuff out
Aside from Pokémon, it seems your dad had a keen sense for games he didn't favor. His preference to steer clear of being a Sega enthusiast is understandable. While I'm not particularly fond of JRPGs myself, Pokémon, especially the early games, remains a notable exception. My affection for Pokémon endures to this day. Indeed, your dad's preferences were almost impeccable, leaning more towards Nintendo.
@@MyRetroLife I’d appreciate it again like I said I appreciate it! I try to do things with an angle from someone who has a physical disability, Don’t expect nothing to crazy it’s all done with an iPhone 10 and it’s microphone I already don’t have the best voice so I sound like I have marbles in my mouth because of the microphone lol but I’m always here to support your stuff Tyler it’s a great inspiration to me! Can’t wait to the next my retro life episode!
Most of the bad game memories I have from my childhood have turned out to become some of my most treasured moments.. It's kind of strange but these days I really do love those games just as much as the best ones - all those memories just blend together into a juicy smoothie of retro awesomeness that I just have to chug down!
Thanks for yet another fantastic trip down memory lane, Tyler!
It always cracks me up when I hear your dad's eternal hatred for RPG video games. Reminds me of how I annoyed my dad when I played Battlefront with him as a kid and all I wanted to do was explore the worlds instead of fighting the enemies. "Quit exploring the fields and come fight!" It cracks me up every time I hear "he would just shake his head". My first console was (and still is, since I still have it) my Dad's old Sega Genesis. Even though I was born in 1997, I got the classic hand-me-down treatment when it came to looking for a video game console to have in my room. With Sonic 2 and Mortal Kombat being the provided games (still have them to this day), I was hooked to the point that I still occasionally play them to this day. As stated, they still work just fine, even after being briefly submerged in a flood a few years ago! Kinda looks weird (but satisfying) playing it on a 4K tv without special convertors.
I used to play N64 wrestling games with mine, and one of my favorite things was creating my own wrestlers. Wasn't really the highlight for my old man, he made a few but he was more of a "just turn the game on and play' whereas I spent too much time making mine lol
I love hearing your dad’s point about why he hates certain games and his reasons why 😂
Wish I could provide that for you. I do…
These therapeutic videos are always so good and entertaining. Would love to see what modern games he'd like if he were with us today. If you're able to one day
Definitely a video I will do in the future
Holy crap Trevor McFur looks like a space shooter from Action 52... Wait, is he one of the Cheetahmen?!
Quickly becoming my favorite channel. This hits ALL the nostalgia for me. You have no idea lol. Even though I was raised on nothing but a gamecube, this time period and your videos are so crazy similar to my experience
My dad wasn't massive on gaming but used to enjoy watching me and my brother play. He also used to just say "want a new game?" Every couple of weeks and take us to Toys R Us to get a new one. He did enjoy Desert Strike though and I used to smile when setting the SNES up in the living room then watching him get into it.
This thumbnail of seeing Pokemon Blue as being hated breaks my heart 🤣
I get it. He hates Pokémon because the visors and graphics but kids like us we like to do it doesn’t matter about the graphics and stuff but dads are different.
I wish I had those cool memories recorded like you :) unfortunately just few photos and memories in my head. Great job with those videos man
I wish i had a dad like yours Tyler may he RIP 🙏💙
Thanks bro
@@MyRetroLife I have the biggest respect for you Tyler bro you’ve made me cry sadness and happy tears so many times you have a great way of telling amazing story’s 😊👊
the opening clip lmao... ur dad had that vision, its honestly so funny how ahead of his time he is. "oh i know" then that face 🤣
Dude your Dad was the real first youtuber!, I enjoy ur videos a lot!
The awesome blossom - there is an onion blossom at Outback Steakhouse. I thoroughly enjoyed the awesome blossom. I remember the ads in the mail that would give a free awesome blossom with the purchase of two entrees.
Man seeing that Babbages store in the mall really took me back. A lot of our SNES/Genesis purchases were from there when I was growing up.
Only true video game players have games they love and hate, your dad was a legend! Been waiting for a new my retro life episode this one’s gonna be a good one! 😃
Thank you for the videos!
My pleasure!
12:36 "Boy is he talented or what?"
Man your dad was a great man. I don't know why I found that just so cute and funny.
That’s funny! My stepdad doesn’t play video games, but he loved sewer shark. I remember he would just walk into my room and say. “ put in the sewer shark” 😂🤣😂…. yeah, it’s not a good game
Sometimes you need some grbge entertainment to cleanse the palette
This is such a cool idea for a video, man. My father hated games in general, just couldn't understand why someone would play them at all. As a gaming father, I never thought I would have those same feelings myself, but I'm finding that I loathe certain games and, more accurately, certain types of games. My son is a huge Minecraft junkie, getting into the dirt of the game so to speak, and the more I play it with him, the more I end up like your father on the recliner shaking my head. I'm much more of a JRPG person myself, and I'm trying to find ways to "turn" him in the right direction lol. It's tough being a dad, as you know. Great vid!
I loved FMV games, still do. I love the cheesiness. Games like Off-World Intercepter, Steel Harbinger, and Total Eclipse were among my favorites.
my parents game memories in my head is just them locking up the tv and consoles or fridge for dummb 50s thinking. they had me super late in their lifes
Your dad was WONDERFUL !!!! And I agree with him . I'm still not a fan of Pokémon or RPGs . But I am a 51 year old grumpy old man . To each their own .
I bought Pokémon Red and Blue on the same day and gave one to my best friend. I was 15 then and we’re still friends. We were quietly obsessed with Pokémon 😂 💪🏾
It's funny you mention Infogrames. The brand was recently revived by whatever iteration of Atari exists now, which used to be Infogrames.
Best vids ever gave game channel thumbs up every time
Thanks man! I appreciate it
Biggest smile I've had all day Frosty...Never give up 💪🏼
I remember playing that tailspin game while drinking hawaiian punch and got the WORST stomach ache EVER!!
To the best of my knowledge, my father only ever played 2 video games: Kings Quest 2, and Marble Madness. We got a Tandy 1000EX computer in the mid 80s and these were the first two games we got. My dad, brother, and myself, worked our way through KQ2 together, and he seemed to really enjoy that. Marble Madness utterly broke him though. He could get to the last level, but could not pass it, and it made him really angry. So angry, that I am pretty sure he never touched a never video game ever again. This is one of the many things I wished I had asked him about before he passed, I’m pretty sure my memory serves me well but I’ve always wanted to confirm it.
Thanks for posting this, even though video games weren’t a thing my dad and I really shared together beyond that brief glimmer in time, I find you processing your own emotions and memories of dad to be cathartic for similar purposes myself. What a treasure your dad left behind for you with all this footage. Cheers!
Great comment. Appreciate you sharing that story about your Dad and Marble Madness.
Your dad was awesome!! I think I say that with every video you post lol, but it’s true! My parents rarely ever played games with me, they didn’t care for them. But that’s ok. Great video!
Great video! I forced myself to enjoy Fantasia as it was the third Genesis game I owned after Altered Beast and Sonic. It was uhh, really bad.
But Infrogrames DID publish Alone in the Dark, which was excellent in its day.
We love your content, Tyler.
Pokemon Blue is a surprise to me! I loved those games as well and spent many hours playing this one! It is funny when I look back at games I loved but my brothers hated. Bart Vs. The Space Mutants is a terribly designed game, but for some reason I was obsessed and mastered it. My brothers despised it with every inch of their being. Great video Tyler, keep em coming!
Omg those Simpsons games for the NES were not good. I was trrrrryinggggg to overlook it, but it didn't work. It was more like, just be appreciated that they made a Simpsons video game finally for the home systems and don't complain lol. All I can say is thank GOD they made a classic Simpsons arcade video game that is stellar and incredible to this day.
Awesome you have so much footage from your young days and all i don't have anything of my family but a few pictures. Great man im happy for you to have all those memories. You said your dad didn't like RPG games im just curious is mario rpg a exception? Im sure you had it back in the day . I was in seventh grade when Pokemon GB game's cane out too i think thats when Mario rpg cane out 96 or 97
Man…WE WOULD LOVE to see some crash&bash content on games that actually suck from your perspective, Tyler! Please do some future entertainment on some comedy with sorry video games lol
I always try to get my dad to try roleplaying games since he hates most online games, but he always says
"it sounds boring, just running around doing whatever you want. What's the goal?"
Me: "Whatever you want!"
"Boring."
LOL!
Wow, I had that SAME yamaha keyboard when I was a little kid, you were playing the demo song with 16 beat selected
Fantastic video, Tyler, as usual...i recently played Sewer Shark on my MD Mini 2 and i didnt find it that offensive but, yep, FMV gaming wasnt the future...specially at such low resolution and horrible compression quality....
Pokemon was what got me into Rogue/Roguelike/Roguelite. It was the first game I played where every attack had limited uses, and limited money. I was already too old for “kid’s” games, but it was just a very innovative game for me to pass. My marching band crew would play the game over link during the downtime in football games where we performed.
Most of my experience with Atari Jaguar has felt like playing extremely cursed SNES games
Good video!
Tale Spin! I loved the show. I was also the prime target audience for that show.
Boy howdy. Those are some rough games. I am happy to say I never owned any of those except for Pokemon Blue which I loved to pieces as well. I loved it so much I finished the game, caught all 150, and even picked up a Gameshark back in the day to get Mew. Such great memories of battling with my brother with his red version and trading and moving the pokemon onto Pokemon stadium and seeing them battle in 3d. We were wowed. Haha
Man this was a good laugh. I haven’t played any of these games with the exception of SEWER SHARK,thank goodness!😂
Just love your videos my dad filmed me too, but not as much as your dad wish he did one kid thought my dad was with a news crew, how big the cameras were back then. I was curious on the Mario 3 do you still have that rare version cartridge your aunt found finally at Toys r us.
you were so fortunate to grow up with a dad who loved videogames and fostered that love with you. my dad was mostly a jerk growing up and we never got along, as time went on he became more and more of a videogame Nazi. i hate my dad but i still love videogames.
I don't like RPG and I don't like Pokemon. I would have like to meet your dad. He sounds like a really good person.
Awesome video Tyler!!
My brother and I had vastly different tastes but he was the person who got me into gaming ha ah ha. He would constantly poop (not literally) on my tastes as they developed 😅
Great video Tyler, I wonder why Bubsy didn't make the list??? ☺
My dad hates pay-to-win and the only fighting games he is okay with playing are Super Smash Bros. (he's intimidated by long combos and complex inputs). Dad also avoids games where you can easily cramp your hands by doing ridiculous control inputs. But he does like racing games, LEGO games, business simulators and DOOM and he dabbles a bit in Pokémon as well, given that it involves wireless battles and he has a solid team ready. He is also fine with the Star Fox games' multiplayer, even though I am the best player in my family by far.
I wish he’d tried Rascal for ps1 lol
Your awesome. I’m have 12 year and I imagine your happness playing video games in the golden era
I like Trevor McFur... I even bought the 50th Atari Collection for it. LOL
I agree with dad 100%
My dad didn't like video games, but we bonded over comedy, whether it be stand-up or movies. I've come around to some musical comedians, but back in the 00's, we groaned every time one would come on Premium Blend on Comedy Central. We'd just tune out and maybe talk during their set. We loved George Carlin.
I still love pokemon. I played red version more, but my favorite was silver version I spent so much time there it helped me when my dad passed away to get threw life 😊 🎉last game he ever bought me still remember like yesterday 😢 thankyou dad 💪💯🫡🙏✨️👌
Your dad don't like grinding so was my dad. My dad liked real time strategy games like dune, command and conquer, StarCraft, etc.
Ill never forget the time my poor income family got a sega. We played it for a few months then sony released the Playstation. At the time the Playstation I belive sold for $200 dollars. That was a lot of money back in the 90s. My dad brought this game home for us one day. My dad was a truck driver and to make up for all the time he was on the road he would bring back a game for us. One day he brought home grand theft auto for PS1. Needless to say when we played it he heard the vocals of the pedestrians and said "What the Fck did that just say?" Our response was but dad you bought it for us?!? He told us well just dont let your mother hear that game turn the volume down.. What a Legendary father 😂😂
R.E sewer shark.. my dad was exactly the same when he bought me the mega cd on release and realised how cobra command played ( " Tanks in the canyon, drive em out")... It shows how crappy it was when his favourite game was sol feace. Although I didn't admit it as a sega fanboy I was very happy I had talked my younger brother into asking for a SNES around this time 😂.
Top 10 games my dad hated:
EVERY GAME
Loved my dad but he just did not get gaming. We bonded over lots of things but gaming was not one of them. 😂
We are around the same age and it sounds like we lost our dad around the same time. Tough stuff for sure. I would love to see a video of your dad’s most loved games if you don’t already have one made!
He actually does have one from about a year or two ago on his channel :D
I ate too much of an awesome blossom and got sick back then, I didnt realize that was a common thing 😂
Fully agree with this list lol. Somehow we got good at some of these. I try to play Tail Spin these days and just can't.
That infamous Conan NES game, so bad, it even made it into an AVGN episode. Also, I didn't knew there was a Fantasia game, and now I know why I didn't knew about it.
The dialogue in those FMV games were so bad, I still remember what my brain looks like from rolling my eyes so hard at the delivery
I know what it's like losing your Dad at such s young age. I'm sorry. I miss my Dad every day and I know you miss yours too. :(
It was always disappointing to find out that a Sega CD was FMV instead of a real video game.
I like Trevor Mcfur despite its many shortcomings. I even like the music 🎵 :D yes I’m nuts 🥜
Anything turn based i hate it gives me anxiety, i like to be in control of my player at all times if its action rpg id play it but thats as far as it goes…I know theres a lot of good games im missing out on but hey thats me…Bring on more Zelda games 🙏🏽I’d say Fantasia would have to be the best from Dads worsts picks
That’s why I prefer Elder Scrolls style RPG. You get to explore freely but you still get all the RPG elements. Turn based was fun when I was younger. Sometimes turn based is alright if the story is really captivating like an old dungeon crawler, but overall I agree they feel to limited.
The awesome blossom was WAY better than the bloomin onion. We would get a couple to go for New Years, pick up a couple pizzas and chug Pepto the next day...worth it.
I can only hope that my kids idolize me like u do your father seemed like a good man
Funny your dad hated Sewer Shark and its in my dads top 5 favorite games. He played that for hours on end lol
about the UA-cam weird policy with your childhood videos, have you ever thought of displaying the year of the video while it's playing? Maybe it could help
Interesting idea! Might try it. Thanks
Oh no! I have two copies of Fantasia for the Genesis! I forgot I already owned it (and never played it) when I bough the second copy.
Lol I would love to avgn episode with you in it reviewing fantasia that would be an awesome video
100% agree with your dad about World Of Warcraft. I have tried numerous times to like it, but it just not my thing. Thanks 4 the video.
Perfect length video to wait for this Elden Ring update on my PS5. You play elden ring Tyler?
the awesome blossom was great. Your dad sounds like a legend.
man you had an amazing childhood...
FMV games reminded of the those old VCR shooters they had available.
I would agree with his list 95%, except for Pokemon. I also don't like cute-bubbly anime stuff, but I played the heck out of Red version on my Purple GB Color back in 1998 when i was 16. In fact about a couple of months ago my 11 year old kid wanted to try it out and played it through on GB Emulators on his Nintendo DSi and loved it.
Dude, I loved the awesome blossom! Lol
Great video
Wow Mickey Mouse magical quest was soo much better then that early version haha love the vids 👍
Woah the last battle 💪
I agree with your dad I hate RPGs and anime but I played Red and then Yellow to get Mew and those are the only ones ive ever enjoyed I wish we could hear his opinions keep up the great work
The game you promote seems like something I would really hate.
Agree with most your dad didn't like. I think Sewer Shark is pretty good though. Virtual Hydlide is really weird, but I enjoyed completing it.
I always enjoy the lists of games that your dad hated/didn’t like enjoy life
Tyler facts lol if you eat Blooming Onion all to yourself good luck won't even go to work next day
