I felt so responsible as the older brother, convincing him that we should buy it together. Of course, the expense is trivial now and just a story we laugh over. He was 9 then and 40 now. He lives interstate and we tend to bond over Fortnite when it comes to games these days, playing as a squad with my 9yo son.

For my kids, I'm not sure the Micro Genius era of games holds up to the sandbox style of say Goat Simulator or constant chaos of Fortnite. Bit of a shame. In hindsight, I should've walked them through a bit of history of gaming in sequence.
