Games for wife to play?

(1/11) > >>

bdsjake:
Beyond the classics like Centipede or Ms. Pac-man, what can I introduce the wife too to keep her interested in the mame cab?

I've shown her tetris of course, and puzzle bobble.  She found and loves timber (Why I can't guess, but hey if she loves it....) and she played burgertime II all the way to the end I think.

what other games do the wives/girlfriends like?

Edit:  anyone play Zuma Deluxe on a cab? (I guess with trackball?)  Wife loves that game!

thanks,

My wife loves a game called Toki.  We used to play it all the time in the arcades around here.

Basically it's a platform game with a monkey spitting(shooting) his way through to save the princess.  It's kinda difficult though but we've spent a ton of time playing it.  Check it out if she likes platformers like Super Mario or Spyro. (Other of my Wife's Favorites.) ;D

Mr. Dude:
Puzzle Bobble is a definate favorite of my Wife's too.  She also likes Capcom Bowling (if you have a track ball) and she loves Pretty Soldier Sailor moon (cause she looks like Sailor Jupiter).    

Witchboard:
Hmm.. I guess Gals Panic is out of the question. ^_^

Any puzzle/level/shooter game is always a good way to start.

This is a great thread for me becuase I'm just starting to build my cabinet and i need to get my wife to like it quickly or she'll endlessly complain about it!!!!
Back in tha day, Dig-Dug was very popular with the ladies because of the cute characters and the non-violent (well except for filling animals full of air and bursting them  ;) theme, Also Paperboy was non-violent, but not sure how to use on MAME since you don't have the handlebar controller. My other thoughts are Popeye, Galaga, Asteroids, Mr. Do, Space Invaders.
