Those old, simplistic games strike me as much better children's games than most modern alternatives.

Guys tend to stereotype women as inept because there historically weren't all that many women gamers, and pretty much all of us have too much bad experience with "Dude X's useless girlfriend." That perception will change over time as more women adopt online gaming, but perception always lags behind reality.

I think a certain level of interest in games and gaming in general is required for someone to call themselves a gamer. A lot of people play video games, but not all of them are gamers.
