She's literally telling you she wants the D

Tread lightly.
She may have picked up that you liked gaming and said she liked Super Mario World because she's interested in you.
Based upon what you're telling us I'm thinking you're taking too much of a leap here. I would stay away from showing her games

Yes, I need resolution on this thread. If I were a betting man, I could see OP breaking out a copy of Dragon's Crown and date ending abruptly.

They will either think you're a completely insane person or a cool guy.

Oh right, this.
I didn't end up showing her a game.
We've been together nearly a year and a half.
It was actually my roommate's puppy, and he took it with him when he moved.
I have a cat now, but may upgrade to a dog in the future.
She likes Monument Valley on the iPad and actually showed that game to me on a later date. And I was blown away by how far gaming had come.

Holy fuck, OP finally delivered
Never thought I would see the day
I take full credit for the bump

Dark Souls.
This is literaly the total opposite of what everyone thought would happen lol
To be fair, he ended up following the most popular non-sarcastic response.

Any game would be a serious risk. I know this topic is old as dirt, but there is no way OP wasn't trolling.
How about this? Let's turn this thread into a butterfly effect speculation thread. What would've happened if he had shown her game ...?
I'll go with the first post "Bayonetta"
Girl thinks to herself:"Wow, this bitch is soo tall and skinny....Boy, I'm fat. I wanna go home now and cry myself into sleep"
-> date over: OP stays alone, dedicates all his time to science and finally becomes the inventor of the perpetuum mobile.

A conclusion two years in the waiting!
Great necrobump on a classic thread. Congrats on your gf, OP.

I still wish this had been first post.
Nice, thanks for update
It's Shepard. And Garrus. Mostly Garrus.
On a first date I brought a girl to my apartment and booted up Donkey Konga on the GameCube. She played it. She said she liked it. A few years later she married me.
DO NOT TAKE THIS AS AN ENDORSEMENT
Because now whenever anyone asks her about her first date she tells them the story of how I brought her to my apartment and brought out Bongo Controllers. Her friends all laugh at me. I feel ashamed just writing about it now. I was young and since this girl had mentioned that she likes game a bit I thought it was a good idea.
It is not a good idea.
She only said she liked games to try to impress me she only put up with them because she liked other qualities I had. Once we got farther in the relationship she was comfortable enough to tell me I almost blew it that first night.
I am 99% sure the girl you are talking about is not a gamer hoping to see you collection. If she is, go for it, but let her make the first move. Don't bring the games out, don't suggest one unless she reminds you that her reason for being with you, alone in your apartment is to play video games.
As a happy ending, my wife and I do now play games together from time to time. We beat Super Mario 3D word together and she likes Captain Toad. She can also probably beat most of us at Tetris. But that's about it.
My 2 cents.
EDIT: And I didn't look at the date.

I love it when this thread necros, and this time it's really paid off
That's cool you're still together, in a way GAF had a small influence in your successful love life, that's pretty rad.
You mean downgrade, right?

Here's the real question: instead of showing her a game, did you have sex?
You'd rather do Netflix because "Netflix and Chill".
Sonic 2006 is still technically a game.
Glad things worked out for you. Also how exactly is a dog an upgrade from a cat? That sounds like discrimination.
