| The Sega Saturn was the very first home console I purchased for myself, and I had the port of Virtua Cop 2 with the orange light gun peripheral, and I kept it connected to the bedroom television. I came upstairs from a late breakfast, and there's my girlfriend (now wife) with one towel wrapped around her body and a towel wrapped around her hair, sitting on the edge of the bed, pointing and shooting feverishly trying to hit anything that moved in-game. The cord was was pulled as far as it would go and she was outstretched, flinging the gun left and right making contact with a smattering of enemy and friendly pixels.
She loved the arcade-style games, and I suspect if I brought more of that into the house, she might sit for a few minutes. She also seemed to enjoy watching Tomb Raider for the locales. With all my excessive gaming, I think SHE thinks I play enough for the both of us. |
