Set her up with Chrono Trigger for SNES once she’s done with NES era and you’ll have about four days all to yourself to plan more defenses, such as Final Fantasy and Metroid
I’ve already got the emulator and the most of the SNES games downloaded (I grabbed a big pack of them). It’s just currently not where she can see it because, as you said, I’m playing for time.
It’s really only one night a week when she comes by after we get drunk at the bar that we play at the same time. So I’d have like 4 weeks where I wouldn’t need to worry about it. Plus I’ve got a few two player games where I can dock it and we can play together. That’ll buy me another couple of weeks. By then either I’ll have her convinced or I’ll just shell out the cash for a second one.
