My wife loved F-14 Tomcat for some reason, still tells me she's mad that I sold it.
She loves WCS94, most non pinheads do because it's fun, and easy to grasp the basics.
My wife made me buy a cv , she played it about 6 months and then sold it and bought her a bride of pinbot she never played it once (and she asked for it ) , but then I bought a nba fastbreak and loved it she always plays it doesn't let me sell it , but now that twd arrived she forgot about nbafb .....
My girlfriend's favorites are TOM, Scared Stiff, WhoDunnit, The Shadow, Safecracker, Taxi, Attack From Mars and Star Trek. She's generally terrified of anything designed by Steve Richie (except Trek) and confused by anything Pat Lawlor (except Safecracker). Nothing pre-System 11 holds her interest.
Quoted from Tensikka:My wife loves all games that I have sold And hates all that are bought

... all my girl likes to play is World of Warcraft and ipad crap. She's such a geek~
Quoted from UFO:Pac man, ms pacman, galaga, and centipede.
Pac Man was a game created for women because "Women like to Eat"

Quoted from navajas:The trick is finding the right woman, not the right pin.
A very wise man !
Any pin once or twice, after that no real interest. If they don't really enjoy pinball in general, one special pin is not going to do it.
She will happily play for a few hours at places like PAPA and pinfest. But she is all over the place, no particular pin speaks to her.
But I can guarantee no EM pin is of interest.
I have had many pins cycle through my living room and given the choice she would much rather play Qbert or Qbert's Qubes on the MAME.
This should be the picture to signify NIB. Notice no KY in the picture.
It's probably the same for women as for men. They like some and dont like others, all personal preference.
My wife who does not "get" pinball gravitated to Party Zone, MET, and CC ( yes she has expensive taste) when I dragged her to SFGE. She also seemed to like EMs... less intimidating maybe?

Some people just don't like pinball.
Quoted from neverahighscore:Wife loves Sterns Playboy. Also with some parties we had, the ladies all gathered around Playboy no matter who was playing and laughing the whole time. Now who couldn't love a game with a playfield like this. The call-outs are funny too!

Ok first off if you're gonna have a PB this is the one...and the pics to have on it...the others are just??? Stupid IMO!! What's the point otherwise??
I personally like EM wise Space Mission and Spirit of 76. Early SS wise, there are sooo many that it is hard to list...Star Light, Barracora, Cosmic Gunfight, Pharaoh, Algar, Scorpion, Blackout, Farfalla (European BG is the only option for this one), Fathom...System 11 Bad Cats, F-14, Taxi...WPC, AFM, Congo, TOTAN, TOM, SS. Newer games POTC, CSI, SM, AC/DC, Met...I can't stand WCS94, The Shadow, TAF, or CV...The ringmaster is creepy. WOZ just doesn't do ANYTHING for me, sorry I tried to like it...
But then I like Pinball in general, so I guess my votes don't count!!!
