Title: Games for significant others?
Post by: Sinistron on February 29, 2008, 06:05:51 AM
Just wondering and I'd like to compare notes...

This is for those of you who have significant others, girlfriends, wives, concubines, whatever- who sometimes play games on your PCE/TG- so please no sour patch kid posts saying "oooooh love is GAY" and "oooooh you play games with your girlfriend DUDE that's LAME" or anything of the like.  Leave the kidly shit at the door, eh?

Anyway- these are the games my girlfriend likes to play (though she is not by any means a "gamer"):

1 player

Alien Crush, Bakushou Yoshimoto, Coryoon, Cratermaze, Devil's Crush, Doraemon, Doraemon Arabian Nights, Dracula Boy, Dracula X, Dragon's Curse, Fantasy Zone, Galaga '90, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, JB Harold Murder Club, Legendary Axe II, Liquid Kid, Loom, New Adventure Island, Niko Niko Pun, Skweek, Son Son II, Space Harrier and Star Parodia   

2 player

Bonk III, Buster Brothers, Chew Man Fu, Don Doko Don, Monster Lair, Parasol Stars, Pop 'n Magic, Puyo Puyo, Ryukyu, Sapphire, Spin Pair, and Splash Lake

She HATES shooters for the most part- they're too hard for her.  She loves cutesy big-head platformers- though when she played JJ & Jeff she said "This game is wack." - she hates the way the guy stops when he's running- it's too slippery for her.  The only games she has beaten by herself are Bakushou Yoshimoto and Niko Niko Pun, and the only games she has beaten with me are Bonk III, Chew Man Fu and Parasol Stars.  Her favorite characters in these games are Doraemon, Master Higgins and that Freddy Mercury looking dude making the flavored ice bowls in Bakushou Yoshimoto- the guy singing that "Si- Senor- Siiiiiii Senorrrrr Yoshiiiii" song.  She also has a habit of calling every big-head male character "Bobby" for some reason- probably from playing Parasol Stars and using the Bobby character.  "Jump Bobby! Jump! You SUCK! Awww Mother f*ckerrr!"  LOL she gets reallllly upset when she dies in a game.

Well, my relationship is currently in the long distance stage, but she told me she likes twinbee. I have Detana! Twinbee for the PC-Engine and both of the Famicom Disk Twinbee games, so I'm covered. She told me also has played some of the newer contra games and enjoyed them....

We seem to have pretty similar tastes, in games and in a lot of things  :dance:

Hopefully all goes well when we start spending time together  :pray: .. I'm hoping our first meeting will be during my spring break.

Off the top of my head, my wife recently beat Dragon Slayer LOH 1, & is playing thru Cosmic Fantasy 2, she used to play Dragon Warrior back in the day.  She's played Champions of Norrath with me, I think she may like Dungeon Explorer 2, I'll have to try that one on her.  She loved Yoshi's Island 2, & the Pikmin's, & the Harvest Moon's(the 2 on GC).  She was playing thru Metroid Prime, but I think got stuck.  She loves Super Metroid IIRC(as do I).  I believe we've beaten Contra together.  I believe she also beat Secret of Evermore, & I know she beat & loved Secret of Mana.  She's beaten several of the Zelda's(I will eventually indtroduce her to Neutopia).  That's all I can think of right now.

My friend used to have a Galaga Cocktail Table. That was friggin' sweet.
