I realize this thread is a little old, but I am kinda bored today, so I will throw my 2 cents in, lol.
While some women are just as fanatical about games as guys, it is a fairly rare trait. If you can get them excited about the nostalgia and give them something they can do while you pay attention to them (ie have them play centipede while you watch), you are good for a bit. But leave a few women alone in a room with an arcade cabinet and they will likely spend more time talking about how you play a lot, how nice it is to have a man who can build something like that (ie handy, which women in general get googly eyed over, especially in their 30's and 40's after they have lived a little and recognize how desirable it is to have that in their man), and then move on to talking about other stuff like shoes, shopping, kids, crafts, men, or whatever else they are into. Bottom line is women get together and like to talk, to gush, and to gossip, usually with a bottle of wine (or 3). So let them. If it is a good woman, she will feel bad for "ignoring" you all night while you played video games with your friends because she was so preoccupied with gabbing with her girlfriends. It is a win-win in that case.
If you DO end up with a woman who likes to play video games with you, she will probably not want to take turns, so play a simultaneous 2 player game.. BUT, make sure she wins, and then be a good sport about losing. I have yet to meet a woman who is a good sport when they lose in anything. A best, they will pretend it is OK, but that night you won't get any lovin. At worst they will never want to play again with you (which might actually end up being OK, lol). Either way, if you win, you will be buying her a new pair of shoes in the next few days, or at best having to spend 3 hours in the store while she looks for a new pair of shoes.
