My girlfriend is a casual gamer, very casual. She picks up the odd game every now and again, usually anything Mario related (well games that features Toad anyway). Put her in front most games and she will probably moan that she can't do it, but stick in front of something she connects with she will hammer it until completion, and then a few more times for good measure.
A while back she mentioned that her brother had an Amiga and she used to like to play Rainbow Islands. Not long after I stumbled across a copy for the PSX and bought it for her. She moaned a bit at first how it didn't feel the same without a joystick, but once she got used to the controls she showed her true colours - she was a frickin' wizard at it. Within a few days she had completed it, collecting all gems in order and unlocking all bonuses. She had totally mastered it! I thought this was maybe a one off, but she has done this with a few games since then, putting me and my so-called gaming skills to shame on the same games.
Anyone else have a partner that has sly gaming skills?
