  It really is a great article. I actually played quite a few games with my dad over the years as well, when I was younger, so this definitely resonates with me too. I completed Chaos Engine on the Amiga in 2 player with me old paps and he was able to find all the hidden nodes which I really struggled at. He also helped me beat the evil robot sonic near the end of Sonic 2 when I kept failing at trying to avoid his attacks. He also watched me beat Shinobi on the Mega Drive and tried to help me on Future Wars when I kept getting stuck in that cell on the spaceship. The game in which we played the most though was Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker. He loved it so much he would sit and play it in my room with the lights off late at night whilst I tried to get to sleep ready for school the next day. I used to drift off hearing that squeaky sound of the cue being chalked and of my dad complaining that the computer was cheating again before he would eventually call it a night and switch it off. Tim Rose misses those times.
  
  As for LA Noire I actually think that wonderful world is going to waste and I would love to see other developers being allowed to use it. Imagine someone like SWERY the maker of Deadly Premonition being allowed to use the game engine and world? How great would a private detective game be set in that world? Sneaking into houses via the fire escape, digging up leads in dingy old bars etc. Reply +3
