I think she playes a total of 1 time. She dislikes the project (and the $$$ I've spent on it) , but you know what, she says "I guess its better than drinking in a bar or "wh?ring" around... Go figure!

As I say to my wife.. I don't complain when you spend $150 bucks on boots...

As girl in her teens, my girlfriend used to play pacman ALL the time at the pizza shop nearby. She even claims that there's a pattern in the game where you can't get killed (some dude taught her the pattern) and says even a few times she did the whole maze with her eyes CLOSED! she said she could listen to the sounds while playing. I don't believe her....i let her play pacman on the cpu but she said she can't do it because of the keyboard controls.

I haven't yet started on my cabnet but will this month and purchased Microsoft Return Of Arcade, so i somewhat have the rights to own pacman on the cabnet. Only then will she be able to prove herself with some joysticks...

Does anyone know if there really is a "pattern" to follow for the whole pacman game without getting killed?

Happiness is coming home and finding the fiancee playing Gradius 2 on your MAME cab.

She plays shooters, MMOs, survival horror, came into our relationship with a SNES, Colecovision and some nice PSX games.

She (thanks to me

) is known among her peers as the person who knows everything about games.

She did have a odd DDR habit, but it seems she's pretty much kicked that.

She's a gamer. We's happy.

Me and my girl just each got a Nintendo DS. We're waiting from more multiplayer stuff to come out, but so far it's been fun fragging each other in Metroid, and chasing each other in Mario DS.

Heh! We did that too.

We only played Metroid Hunters together once. She got a bit miffed that I smoked her (pretty badly really) and FPS games aren't her thing anyhow.

I hate you guys.

Hows this one. I by an Atari paddle, one of the plug and play ones.
Wife says, why did you waste your money on that crap. I start playing it, she says can I try, I then let her try and she wants to play it for an hour and a half.

She gets dizzy if I play first person shooters though, says she feels like she'll puke.

my wife hates my machines, but one day she says, "Can you play Ladybug?"

Never heard of it, but there it was on the Mame list.
Fired it up and she DOMINATED the game.

Go figure

My wife isn't interested in playing arcade games but she is rather good with the joystick.

Wow, funny how a lot of women don't like gaming or only play puzzle or Sim games. Yuck.

I love playing games. Bought Doom3 when it came out, playing Neverwinter nights now, devoted PC gamer you could say. Castle Wolfenstein was cool. I love blowing stuff up. I'm into RPG's the heaviest though. Had fun playing Quake II on a network I set up with my other and we would play for hours. Problem is, I lost like %95 of the time, but I never gave up and once in a while I would whoop some arse and make my other madder than heck.
I'm almost finished with my Mame arcade cab, just need to throw together a new PC to put in it cuz my old one won't work with the darn arcade VGA card. I LOVE RETRO GAMING!!! Put the whole thing together myself (the controls and all)

And I'm a woman.

Cheers!

My g/f is pretty big into games. Lemme list the games she's finished..

-Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time (Finished both Ps2 and Xbox versions 3 times each)
-Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-Zelda : Windwaker
-Got all the extras and all the characters in Soul Calibur (DC)
-Mario64 (All 120 stars)
-Tons more, i just cant think of em off the top of my head

Im blessed with having a very very attractive g/f and she games

. If you all want some arcade games to play together, play a coop game like Metal Slug 2, X-men, Simpsons, etc. Also pop in Puzzle Bobble or Super Puzzle Fighter 2. I dont know any girl gamers that play any hardcore fighting games like Marvel VS Capcom or DarkStalkers. I think the learning curve is too high...no offense to any girls out there.

Some of this I think I've mentioned in other threads, but I'll mention what I can remember here...

My wife never played much before we got married, altho she came into the marriage with 3 NES consoles each with ONLY Super Mario Bros. (lol)
Once she got the hang of the PS1, she played the Namco Classics, Activision Classics and a few other "arcadish" games....

Then, when I got the PS2, I tried buying games we both would play... (the Burnout series, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank)...

THEN.... I built the MAME... she really got into Galaxian, Galaga (and their many variations)... and then I got Gyruss up and running... and it's been tough getting the MAME back from her... she's got the top score ( currently at 355,200... I think) and isn't looking back....

She's also into Final Fantasy (having beaten FF7, FFX and has a save in FF6)...

Not to mention stuff I've downloaded like Hamsterball, Bejeweled, Dynomite and the downloadables from http://www.kewlbox.com
