Look, I love my Dad, but he has got to be one of the worst "gaming dads" ever. He had a brief flirtation with Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 that ultimately bordered on obsession, but these days he wouldn't know his Wii from his w00t. I had to fend for myself when it came to having excellent taste in video games. But I had my tough times, including actually buying things like Deadly Towers for the NES and specfically asking for Last Battle for the Genesis. I was a video gaming orphan, raised on the mean streets of crap licensed titles.

But not Will Wright's kids. They play Guitar Hero. Meier's offspring play Oblivion. Oblivion! AOL Games has a feature on the coolest gaming dads in the biz, including those two and many more.

What about you, commenting crew? Tell us how cool (or uncool) your gaming dad is. Michael McWhertor
