what have I done????

I can't believe it, my girlfriend who tends to look on my gaming interests (it's not an obsession, honest

) with passing interest, was finally tempted to pick up the mouse and have a go at Gridrunner+++ - which I finally took time out to downloading the demo last night.

One game and around 800,000 points later. She looked at me and smugly said 'I like this, bung the kettle on'. I only managed a grand total of just over 600,000, and she knows it!!!

We've managed to create some mad contest revolving around Gridrunner and Tea!!

It's back to animal crossing for me I think.

Oh, and this is my first wee posty. Thanks for listening

And what a great way to start. Hello and welcome to the fluffy place.

Now splash out a fiver on the full thing and see the look on her face when she gets to level 21.

Good to see you Panda, and can I recommend you battle her at the brilliant game of 'having a knob'. We chaps win that one every single time, they just can't compete.

Welcome to the forum chap, its a good place!

wow.. an new excited fan in the making experiencing the pleasures
of zone playing..

This kind of post makes it all worth it for me spending time here, as that's how my first posts were all about GridRunner ++

nice.... and welcome.... Don't turn into a ghost !!!!

I can remember all the battles I had with my wife over Tetris.

She Won.

Yes, she won!!!

just splashed out a fiver (on the flexible friend) for Gridrunner+++

Look forwarding to resuming tonight's battle.

Somehow I'll think I'll wait before telling her about the registered version. I may have a sneaky look at the strategy guide as well

Â£5 tho' - that's mad. Kudos to Mr Minter for pricing it that way, top game.

and thanks for making me so welcome *sniff* it's lovely that

Panda,

Gamer-chix are rare an beautiful things. If you've discovered that you're going out with one - rejoice!

Feed her tea. Buy her a PC if needs-be. Teach her the lag-above Sheepie Save. But above all- rejoice.

And watch her play, if she's getting better scores, and learn from her.

Yes, they are a wonderful species

If you so far as to buy her a PC, make sure you factor in enough to set up your own little LAN for some quality one-on-one gaming (fnar, fnar

)

(Goat knows, when I introduced my SO to Quake II, all she did was run up to me (carrying a BFG, no less) and talked "KISS". Very hard to shoot someone who does that

)

Mine never got into gridrunner++ but liked (and still does though she turns down the sound thinking I wont notice) hovver bovver 2 and plays animal crossing so I guess I am doing ok on that score. She also has a perchant for the retro section in the arcade which is pretty cool (I tend more towards the pinballs most of the time myself).

I also apologise for almost talking as though she were some object. No, my fiancee is much more than that and if she wants to play hovver bovver she is more than welcome

She is the best thing that has happened to me in an effin' long time and I don't want to ever lose that...

I had to do it - honest guv
