Though my wife does support my hobby hesitantly, she puts on a façade & just goes w/ it. There have been several machines that she enjoyed, but the novelty wore off rather quickly. JP & TFTC are two of the titles that she seemed to enjoy, as long as she had a few or so beers. Then when we purchased TWD, as that truly seemed to click w/ her & this machine seemed to finally break her pinball shell. Then after two or three weeks, TWD kicked her rear end & she has barely touched it since. I recently purchased a Golden Tee Complete & even though she depises golf, she is completely glue to this machine & the JVL Encore. I guess the only way I can comprehend, is if I was forced to watch one of her cooking shows or crochet one of her marathon blanket projects. To each his/her own I suppose ~ But how can one not like pinball?!?
