If she digs Chrono, start baraging her with RPGs. This world needs more RPG gamer girls.
Lufia 2 and Earthbound are two great ones, both for entirely different reasons. ANd if she gets into either one, delve her into none other then Breath of Fighter 2, classical Turn Based done to perfection.

NeoCracker you haven't even asked if she's hot yet.
Tales of Phantasia is pretty good. It's doesn't take itself too seriously and has got a bit of humour in it. Pretty easy to pick up and play if you've never experienced an RPG before too ('cept for the whole limited to 15 of each item thing).
And classic platformers like Donkey Kong Country are always good too.
ITT suggest that someone who's never played videogames start with complicated RPGs
Just get Super Mario World or something
there was a picture here
Chrono Trigger seems simple enough, but I was actually pretty surprised that it took this many posts to suggest Super Mario World.Originally Posted by Old Manus
My girlfriend would probably hit you several times over the head with a large, metal object. RPGs aren't difficult for newcomers to pick up, especially if they have even a small sense of strategy and an ability to pick things up quickly (which most people do). SNES-era RPGs were not the most difficult games to come out in the history of video games, which is why the majority of them are still accessible today.
If your friend likes Chrono Trigger, let her play Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy IV/V/VI, Link to the Past, or any of the other games you love to play on the SNES. She'll either like them or she'll hate them, but don't try to feed her games that won't challenge her. If she's turned off by small challenges, she wasn't really meant for them anyway.
I must be slipping.
Any game where you can both control a character on screen at the same time, cooperatively.
Disney's Magical Quest 2, Starring Mickey & Minnie

Gooftroop
Mystical Ninja
Kirby's Dreamland 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV - Turtles in Time
Bomberman 1 through 5
Donkey Kong Country 1 through 3 (Not simultaneous play, but turns are frequent enough to still be fun coop)
Bubble Bobble for the NES is worth mentioning as well.

Excellent game, but for a non-gamer? xD Most "gamers" wouldn't even play it.
