definitely true! I'm just not sure it's the most probable scenario, and regardless it's helpful to clarify the man bought a PS1 when he was nearly 30 years old.

My dad was/is a gamer. We had every Nintendo system except the SNES at release. He's a little bit older than the grandpa in this scenario, but he still gamed on the old systems by the time I stopped speaking to them. Had a huge CRT in the garage next to the beer fridge and all that lol. My sibling and I had our own games that we could play, but we always had to ask permission because the systems were my dad's

This is what it was like for me, too - my dad was a gamer and the gaming stuff was all his, not mine. My siblings and I all competed for time on the computer to be able to play (we didn't have consoles).
