My grandfather, who has since passed away at the lovely age of 92, was one who appreciated video games!

Handsome man - what a great smile!

I had that controller for my Atari 2600. It wasn't good. It was not good at all.

Mine did too. One of my fondest memories is watching him play Duck Hunt at age 91.

He looks so happy. My dad would let me play and loved just.. watching. Early 90’s. He still does. It’s wonderful.

Did your abuelo own a Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant in Albuquerque by any chance?

Some of the better memories I have of my father is when he played Atari with us. Rest in peace, and thank you for sharing

Wish either of mine had played. I might be closer to them if they had.

Used to watch my father on the sega genesis. Now I play the games on other systems and let the memories flow
