I think I must be one of those rare females (as well as my mum) since the days of Sega's Alex Kidd, Earthworm Jim, Sonic, NES's Metroid, Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario :D Mum got my then 8 year old son into playing Tomb Raider on the PC (before he got a playstation) using the arrow keys between them. They had many an argument about who's fault it was that Lara fell to her death :D
My son grew up & was never interested in The Sims, he plays games on playstation. I had Sims 1, didn't get 2 or 3 but decided to get Sims 4. Mum had Sims 1 but never bothered with The Sims again. She is now in her mid 70s and still plays games on the PC.
*Edit- Oh I remember playing Resident Evil, the one where the handset shakes and I nearly had a heart attack every time :o I never got to finish that game :D
