So my son had a birthday over the weekend and one of his gifts was the video game “Rock Band” for his Wii. The game has a mic, guitar and drums. The object is to play the notes that are on the screen.

Yesterday Liam said to me “Come on dad. Lets start a band! We can call our band “The Dudes” I will be the drummer and you play guitar.”  I think, wow!  Cool! This is great!  My son wants to be in a band with me. I am the cool dad!!!!

Then we start to play….Well I cant play this game to save my life!  Liam on the other hand, was great! Ummm he is 7 and I am 30.

I laid in bed last night remembering the good old days. Remember the first Game boy with Tetris?

Ya!  Tetris a game we all can enjoy!  Three buttons up/down/side to side. Don’t you miss those days when we could all play video games?

No secret codes, no internet connections, Just 3 buttons!!!

So if you are a parent of kids with video games, smile and think of Tetris!

WOW what a great game!!!

What was your favorite video game as a kid? kenny.jones@rci.rogers.com
