you know we have to ask!

what systems do you have?

this would help alot!

Earlier systems's game are simpler but newer stuff might put her off.

ease her in to our hobby!

Secret of Mana, which is what my girlfriend and I are playing now. Also, Mario Kart 64 and Contra if she likes to shoot things.

Although, yeah, knowing what systems to recommend games for might help.

Any light gun games, period. Every time a a non-gamer of any gender comes over to my house and says, "Nick, I wanna play a video game," It's almost always straight to Virtua Cop. Or Resident Evil rail shooters on the Wii, but saying the wiimote makes a good light gun is like saying boots make good running shoes.

Otherwise, Bomberman and Mario Kart.
