My mom is pretty much as anti-gaming as one can be, but she luckily always left that domain up to my dad, who happens to usually adapt to what me and my brothers are interested in
My parents always let us choose our own games, and to keep it fair we mostly each had our own consoles rather than having to share any so they just remained in our possession ever since....and since I live with my two brothers, we still have all of our consoles and games under one roof, but unfortunately mostly just collecting dust
My parents (especially my mom) don't really check for video game stuff for me, at least not for my collection...my dad does check for some video game stuff, but only for current gen 4-player games for when me n my brothers go visit them
He did buy an old Amiga 500 not too long ago, though, to bring back some old memories...
But on a side note, my parents are vital to my collecting habits, as I ship everything I buy in Germany to their address...which happens to be quite a lot (prices on German eBay are cheaper than on Dutch or Belgian eBays)....I also don't have a German bank account, so whenever I can't pay with PayPal I've had my parents transfer the funds for me
