      @Wonkie I've tried her on that, she doesnt like the combo drops on her side.... when we play Dr. Mario, i have to use a hacked version that removes the combo drops or she drops profanity the whole time we're playing, hahaha. She's more of a casual competitive or co-op type, not really into full contact puzzle games, haha.

            So no Mean Bean Machine, I take it.

                My wife only plays Dr. Mario too... wait one sec.. you don't live in New Mexico do you? Lol j/k. I have got her to play a bit of bubble bobble and super Mario bros 3. I found the real way to get her to switch games is to use a challenge and a bit of drinking helps too. I bet you can't beat me at (fill in blank)... but the real secret is you have to let her win at least the first night ;).

                  @Capeman only saw this now. Definitely recommend Tetris on the gameboy in split screen multiplayer, puzzle bobble on the arcade/neogeo, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machines, which is just a very unfortunate western localization of a great game which is Puyo Puyo.

                  Both should be easy to move her into.

                  The Magical Drop games also seem to be a possibility in the same genres, but I've yet to play them with my wife.

                    Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble.

                    Fortunately my wife loves retro gaming, but I have to keep her away from this game. Once she gets started on Bust a Move you can forget everything else for a while.

                        This week's James & Mike Monday is Dr. Mario. We can only hope this thread inspired them to make the video.

                            @obsidianspider I love James and Mike but I found this video a little frustrating. Maybe because I have to play this all the time and know the rules. I was surprised they didn't realize how to screw over the other player :)
