It's said redheads have no souls. Should Sandra mention this, Alex will likely shout "TAKE MINE!" as well.

What gets me, is the fact Alex is this wound up around her, when he oughta be used to being around women by now. Yet, he's acting like it's his first time seeing one. Which can also be said of most harem protagonists.

Sandra is not only a woman she is a kind of celebrity. It's perfectly legitimate for Alex to be much more nervous than usual. Besides, other women in his vicinity are his sister and a childhood friend he may very well consider as a sister. Wait until he notices that Marie is a girl and he'll be equally flustered.

she used to play games on the early era and I think is possible she sold her gameboy (remember that she played a lot the old games until high school)

if anything her "like a gameboy" comment indicates she has no idea of Nintendo 3DS or how many old games are available in smart phones
Depending on how old Sandra is suppose to be either she gave up on gaming because "girls don't play video games" or she was still in the era between the collapse of the industry and its resurrection. I didn't play video games from about just after E.T. came out until 2000 with Diablo II.

My guess is the former rather than the latter.

Still, even I had a Gameboy for a while. It eventually died.
there is a strong possibility she quit as a freshman in High school and it was before 1998 when Gameboy color came or Gameboy Advance (2001), if we go by latest(2000) than she is at least late 20s in age

she said one thing she liked of the old games was the sound effects of them

Seeing how overly excited Gary was she probably thinks this is standard behavior.

Because it's Sandra, it's his crush. He has put her on top of a pedestal, he is pretty much in awe of her.

Yeah, I get why he's acting that way, 'cuz I've seen it before (which is why I included harem protagonists when I said that). On paper, it's 'cuz they're all: 'O-M-G, it's her'.

But usually, I find myself thinking: 'dude, they're just people.'
