Though I may be a bit biased. I was home with my kids all last week and caught a great shot of them playing doubles on Millipede:

Very nice. Has that old time color look to the picture as if it were taken BITD.

BTW: which one of them was playing with your phone yesterday? Or was it you who ass dialed me?

My daughter was. She did it twice, yes? I was gonna call you anyway about the party in May, so now you're close to the top of my 'recents' list. Perfect!!
 
That's a GREAT pic! Here's a good one of my son playing DK.

It may have been twice. I was finishing pre-flighting an aircraft when the call came in so when no one was on the other end, I hung up and jumped in the plane.

I believe the party date corresponds to my cousin's wedding which absolutely blows... please reschedule.
 
Wow, very cute. So you mean mine won't stay little?

They will, if you keep feeding them tons of coffee like I suggested. ;) Or diet pills. Or certain prescription medications. :rolleyes:

No... :(

It really makes me want to have another one too. Knowing now what I didn't know the first couple times around I think it'd be even more enjoyable. And if it wasn't for my wife's common sense/sanity... we'd be expecting already. :D
 
My little one hasnt had a chance to play it but has been helping on the restoration

Poke holes...replace with tic-tacs, something. Weird for guys to be saying stuff like that, but I think given our location on the web here...we're all a bunch of big kids that like having little ones to play our games with.
Easy to tell your kids to say "But aww mommy...we NEED another arcade machine!"
 
Heres my one year old on world rally and shinobi, then some diagnostics on my broken Future spy.

I wouldn't be a good dad if I didn't show off my kids too ... !

The first one is about 2 years ago,
with Sam (5), Nate (3) and Luke (1) playing Robotron.

The other pic was taken last summer
with all 3 boys playing Cruis'n.

Phet, with the background colors and everything it even LOOKS like a vintage 80's picture/poster. That's cute, you need to print and frame that with some sort of arcade slogan like 'Millipede, it's not your daddy's game anymore".
 
These are from my daughter's 3rd birthday party last week. My friend's boys are on the Super Pac then his daughter and mine (flowered shirt) played some Pac-man. There were 7 kids and 8 adults alltogether. The games were well played, although the boys were in need of closer supervision. I caught one standing on the CP of my Donkey Kong and the other was hitting the monitor plexiglass on my Raiden. I said "Uhhh (guy's name) you need to get in here."
