I've had everything. NES, SNES, Gameboy, PSX... PC, you name it.
My brother (lives w/ my mom) has PS2 and Gamecube with tons of games. I encourage video game use. The majority of people grow up fine, it's up to the parent to limit playing.
If I didn't have video games, I wouldn't be the successful programmer I am today.
I did nothing but play video games growing up. When I became a teenager, I was curious as to how they were made - from there, taught myself programming, got a career at 17, and today, at 23, I'm doing quite well.
Putting myself through college, bought a house. Everything is great - all because of video games.
My aunt was a nutcase who refused to get a TV in their house. God forbid your kids have some fun... "When I was a kid, we had fun playing with STICKS AND STRING!" - your kids must do the same cuz it worked for you!
