Why retro sad dad games don't exist? I can't think of a single one, the closest thing is Ico, the retard wrangler game.
Feels like certain demographic didn't exists back then.

Why the fuck would it? people interested in making games were hyper masculine-interest (interests, as in pyromaniacs etc, not hyper-masculine as in having big muscles) 22 year old nerds. Not soft-cocked middle aged dads trying to come up with a way to still be interested in the career they invested their life in

one of the nice things about PAL games is that because we tended to get things a little bit later, our games frequently have some fixes that other versions don't, we got the "day 1 patch" in modern terminology

dad gamers hadn’t been invented yet
you basically needed millennials to get old enough to be dads and make games
>gen-x
not enough of them

The hell you're saying
Dads existed then, and back in their own childhoods before they had kids in the NES days they were into pick your own adventure books, D&D campaigns and Tolkien, so they got some retro manly dad video games pandering to those tastes, and even some of the abominable western cover art changes harkened to that.

There were games where you were in a protective dad role building a city, or raising a child (Princess Maker, or Terra Fantastica) but the first major legit sad dad game with a traumatized widower who lost his child and wallowing in depression and sadness was the Silent Hill series and that was more inspired by Twin Peaks and horror.

The true sad dad games that celebrate cuckoldry therapy and the experience of the destitute divorcee cuck deprived of child visitations were for the most part western inventions, the likes of Heavy Rain, the Last of Us... at least until Pragmata.

what even is a "dad game"? incoherent Third Worlder OP is incoherent.
