        It’s not very recognizable to a kid these days. That game came out 17 years ago. 17 YEARS 😭

    Let me guess if he has a console he plays Fortnite and if he doesn’t he plays Roblox.

          The OP consistently shows extreme bitterness toward seemingly everyone in her own family. To the point where she actively talks about disowning her son and suing her mother. I think she probably deleted a lot of those comments, but it definitely recontextualizes a lot of her posts not as jokes, but as earnest, passive aggressive hatred for her family.

          It was all the other responses by OP that were off-putting. Check their post history (and you’ll also find out why another reply here has a picture of a tardigrade playing the world’s smallest violin).
          I went from thinking “haha dang” to “oh you’re serious about giving a dna test to the child you yourself birthed”.

      OP went nuts in the comments of the original. I can’t remember the details, but they were saying things about how they were incredibly offended and wanted to DNA test their son for not being thankful for the gift. And some rambling tirades about the grandmother or something. It was very bizarre.

    Give it to a retirement home. Seriously. Us old farts still like playing those old games. I was not happy when my granddaughter used my Mario Cart disk for a teething ring.

      We only got a Wii because it was useful for physical therapy for a family member with motion problems. Thry used one at his PT centre, so we obtained one once they became readily available, and he used it at home for years, at least kong enough that you could use it for Netflix with a specific disc. With the Fit board, it provides some activities with more feedback and interactivity.

    Maybe you could play yourself and get him interested that way? If my pops would have come with some weird stuff from his childhood i would also have been mildly uninterested.
