I only started in the hobby as my wife two birthdays back asked for one for her present.. Well she unleashed a monster as had seven machines 18 months later but she didn't complain...
My wife seems to like the stern titles more than me, I am not that interested preferring 90s williams/bally titles, which she mostly likes too, though she doesn't like horror themes like BSD..
Only problem is although I am grand champion on BSD and JD she holds that title on Tron and Shadow..
She obviously has no issue with me buying more machines as she gets to play them. She doesn't help much with restores, not in the slightest interest unless I ask her to help me with something (like applying decals which I find easier with two people).
