Hi everyone, my name is Frances; my husband John(gorfchampion) encouraged me to get on the forums and take part in this wonderful hobby! My favorite games are Galaxian and Bump N Jump. John and I play doubles quite often on Mr. Do!, Wizard of Wor, and Space Duel, among others. I once(actually several times) had a 3+ hour marathon of game after game of Galaxian, until John finally just turned it off to get me away from it. Anyway, I'm glad I joined and am looking forward to reading/responding to some of these threads.
 
WOW a real girl.......................... :D
The nerds here will be all over this thread.

Just kidding welcome to the forums.
 
Welcome! I'm impressed that you like Space Duel... It is one of my favorites, but I can't get my wife to even play it. It seems most women don't want to even try it. Anyway, welcome to the madness!
 
Welcome wifey....

Welcome. Nice to see husband and wife gaming pals.

Me and my wife just got a Wii and we have been playing doubles on some of the shooting games for that console. She loves those shooting games, but doesn't really care for any of my arcade games, except for my Tempest.

speaking of huband and wife when are you coming to work with me?
 
For the record, i think your Hubby Gorfchampion is one of the nicest people here. I hope the guys here will be respectful towards you. Welcome aboard.

I like Space Duel because I can shoot the person playing the game with me, and the ship is easier to fly than on Asteroids.
 
Welcome, Frances.

You and your husband are very fortunate to share the same hobby. I have to tell you, it's not all that common for this particular hobby.

My wife tolerates it only because I use my own personal "mad money" to buy the games with and restrict it to 1 wall of 1 room. :)

Of course, I think her attitude will change once I put a vertical multi-game in...

Anyway, welcome to the boards!

That's what John has told me; he sees a lot of posts saying how much the wives don't enjoy the hobby. I'm not out in the garage restoring/fixing games with him, but I definitely enjoy playing the games and hosting our parties.
 
Welcome and congrats on an impressive avatar. My wife likes the Centipede UR in the basement, but I hope one day I can see her start a thread like this. That score on Galaxian is awesome BTW.
 
Welcome, and I second the quote that your husband is one of the nicest people on here, very friendly and respectful. It's great that you enjoy the games together. I really envy your husbands (well, yours too!) basement arcade, it's one of my favorites out of all the ones I've seen posted here. And yes, your avatar is very nice. :D
 
I'm the pervert who encouraged her to use that avatar. She wasn't sure if she could get away with it; I said ah hell go for it these guys are cool. She looks like that avatar when she's not pregnant! Sorry baby, gotta give you some sh*t! (She's due with our son in a couple of months)

Pics or it didn't happen!




hehehe. Welcome Latinogirl. Now the other five girls here (or four, who the hell knows anyways?) will have someone else to bash us guys with. Game on.

Oh Dale, you are such a flirt... LOL... we're coming soon though. My wife just finished her online degree so now we have time to go and do stuff.
