200- Video Games (Samchel)
Rachel would never understand Sam's love of video games. That didn't mean she didn't try, though. They had video game dates, where he would teach her new games and see if he could convert her to the Church of Xbox and Playstation. It was kind of working. Her current favorite was Red Dead Redemption, which he found extremely amusing for reasons unknown to her.
She put the pizza box down on the coffee table and looked on in confusion as Sam hooked up a completely new gaming system. This one had to be old…there were only three buttons and an arrow pad. "Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"What's this one?"
"This, my love, is a Sega Genesis. Prepare to be amazed."
Fifteen minutes later, they were three levels into Streets of Rage.
"This is so satisfying!" Rachel said, beating a bad guy with a crowbar.
"Knew you'd like to kick it old school."
"But seriously…the health power ups make no sense. Who puts a ham in a phone booth?"
"Who eats an apple out of a trashcan?" Sam countered. "Just go with it."
"How many more games do you have for this console?"
"Fifty."
"Hope you didn't have other plans for the weekend."
