Funny Names Your Parents/Older Relatives Call Video Games

[QueenCobra]

For example, my dad calls Stardew Valley “Stardust” and I’m pretty sure I’ve heard “Mario Car” at some point.

No one’s gotten Animal Crossing wrong though….

Anyone have similar stories?

My 78 year old grandmother has decided that every game console there ever is or was is a Wii (or occasionally a GameCube).
Probably because she likes to bowl in Wii Sports, especially the 100-pin bowling game.

My parents don't call video games anything goofy. They were early internet and computer users (one of my moms took computer classes as early as the 80s) and have listened to me talk about video games for so many years that they know most of the actual terms. They don't even call Link Zelda.
