In her words,

"The basement is all yours!"

And she was cool (actually excited) when she came home to find me with a Mortal Kombat 2 arcade machine halfway down the stairs!

My gal friday has yet to complain about my gaming habit, though that's probably because she's never seen any of the goodies.  The chain isn't very long.

My wife doesn't mind the gaming stuff.  She will play some games with me once in a while.  Usually they are things like rock band and mario though.  Better than nothing.  But once in a while she will complain about the amount of money I spend on the stuff. 

Good thing is she is letting me build a mame arcade once we move out of the condo and get a bigger house.  Once I show her space invaders, she'll be hooked.  She's a big dork like me.

Yeah, she accepts my gaming. She always knew I was into videogames. She just didn't know how into them I was until we moved in together. When she saw all my systems and games, she was blown away. We ended up dedicating a whole extra bedroom to all the classic games. We took the sliding doors off the closet, and built a huge shelving unit. The very top shelf has some of the systems on display, ready for me to grab whichever one I will play. A bunch of cubbies under them full of all the games. She accepts it, but doesn't always understand why I would play a game like Star Tropics or Ys or any other old game when I have games like Modern Warfare 2 or Mario Bros Wii or other new games to play. She especially loves the Virtual Boy in 1 corner of room, and thinks the Turbografx 16 with the TurboCD attached looks extremely weird.

The wife is okay with the games.  I don't really spend excessive amounts of time/money on it, so no problems on this end.

Some nice stories to go along with how you guys voted!  Definitely liked the wife coming home and being halfway down the stairs with a Mortal Kombat cab haha!  :clap:  My wife accepts it and does buy me games.  Luckily she's not really into the new games and prefers the old school games.  I was rocking out Ys Book I&II and she told me she loved the music.  She also thought it was a weird way to play a game running into people.  I told her "don't knock it till you try it!"  Now I can't get my Duo back!  :|  We also have some nice Bomberman bouts.  The only sort of new games she plays is the DOA games if you can believe it.  She's a hell of a lot better than me at it, that's for sure.  Now if I was going out and buying arcade cabs and other expensive stuff then it will be a whole other story altogether.

There was a period of time there in which the whole family was hooked on Bomberman. We would spend time in front of the TV blowing each other up. Such fun!  :lol: We haven't done that in a while. My wife will usually purchase a game as a gift for me around birthdays and such, so very understanding.
