The only time period that my dad was into gaming was in the early 2000s when you had al these realistic shooters about ww2 and the Vietnam war he is obsessed with that .in the 80s and early 90s games where too unrealistic and childish for him. remember most gaming adverts tried to appeal to kids even if the games where so fun adults could enjoy them too. the ads would turn off most people born before 1970 from gaming. that is why so many boomers hate video games but in the 2000s the got more realistic and tried to appeal to adults. this worked for the demographic that was born in the 70s and 80s but older people where too far gone when they saw the childish nes or atari adverts when they where 20 they would never give gaming another chance. i tried to convince my dad to play other games but he thought they here too silly i personally don't care about realism in games

Its kind of strange how nazi symbols are becoming more taboo now than a few decades ago when there where still a lot more people running around that could remember ww2. you have to be at least 80 years old to even have a faint early childhood memory of ww2 and the actual fighters are almost 100 years old now. but back in 1990 everyone over 50 could remember it and most of the fighters where still around apart from most of the high ranking leaders yet it wasn't as taboo as its now. even earlier in the 1970s they where already mocking ww2 atrocities in movies when it only happened 30 years earlier. at that time there where ww2 veterans everywhere. in western Europe you could still find ww2 uniforms on fleamarkets for cheap but yet people tolerated ww2 jokes often made by people who remembered ww2.
