My wife likes games too (she's in VAPS) but the Tempest stays in
the basement (under the bedroom). I wouldn't want any confusion
about spikes or flyin' down the hole or anything... Did I just say

If she never played as a kid, how does she know she likes centipede? Hmmm?
By all means, get her a game of her own :-) Then she won't complain about
all the other ones.
