In the early 80's (yikes, that is 30 years ago now!), I started
collecting arcade stand-alone games. I had a game room set up with 6
pinball machines and 8 arcade games (robotron, joust, etc).
We have no kids ourselves, but have two nephews (one now 30 and the
other 18) and one niece (now 15). They used to love to come over and
play our games for hours, trying to get my name off the high-score
board.
They never succeeded... :)
We finally gave all the games to a couple of high-risk kids groups in
2006 when finances required us to start renting that space out as an
apartment. The kids are now all grown, but that bonding experience has
lasted.

Joust brings back fond memories. Never played another game were flying felt
just so spot on.
