...hi score time...........Joey
my wife loves the walking dead. She would like for me to get one, but same would be said for Tron and ST as well. SHe doesn't get a say so of my valuable pin space until she plays more than once a month. 
Congrats, I am still trying to get my wife to that point. Walking Dead may be the gateway drug for mine. My wife has made many comments about it after seeing the commercials for it
I was working on my pin and had a target bank out of the machine with the playfield up. Last night she came downstairs, on her own I might add, to play it and was actually disappointed that she couldn't play. Needless to say I put it back together quick and we played a few games but I was surprised.
She want's a metallica, I hope to get one someday.

My wife really wanted a High Speed as she played it in her youth.
I really got the third degree when I brought home a Checkpoint from a local auction.
Now that it's up and running she keeps wanting to play Checkpoint while High Speed is the backup game as it doesn't auto launch your ball if you leave it for a while.
She's happy, She didn't think she would be, but she's happy none the less.
Lucky man! Now you need to show her the add-ons (topper, blades, armor, shooter rod). Women love to accessorize!! 
I can't figure out if I'd get kissed or killed if I surprised my wife with a TWD.
Not a chance I'm willing to take.
I think it's awesome that so many couples/ families seem to be into this. We used to play Tomb Raider as a family when out daughter was young...just passing the controller around and cutting up.
Good stuff.
Quoted from pinball_erie:Can't believe she was dying for us to buy this !!!

That's cool, my wife gets excited for new game room purchases too.
I'm happier than my husband is about pinball... too happy!! I'm the reason we have TWD...

You are what they refer to as a 'keeper'. LOL
congrats on the Pin, but more so on having a cool wife.
I am bringing the wife to Expo on Friday. She's cool with the games and enjoys seeing the art, etc. She's not a very good player but I hope to help her with that as time goes by.

I find that standing behind her and helping with the flippers is a good way to teach your wife to play pinball.
Not a great way for her to learn pinball though, but that's not really the point. 
My wife is always happy, and so am I. She isn't in to pinball like I am, even though she will occasionally play. I always try to make sure she gets something fun that she wants (coach bag, etc..) when I blow some cash on pinball.
Caught the wife playing the pin twice over the weekend, by herself. I think she might be getting the bug.
I told her not to get discouraged, that BK2K is a hard game to learn on, especially with the worn flippers I have and she said that's ok, it will make other games seem easier.
