Kunovski: must be a thrill really to have someone at home to play old games with :) (even though eventually you're going to need two or more computers ;)

I just don't understand why for example some of my friends like sci-fi movies but can't be dragged to games like Blade Runner or Gemini Rue. I mean, it's the same genre, but more interactive medium - thus better, isn't it?! :D

anyways, my neverending search continues...
Depends what kind of SciFi they like... if they like no-brainers (And there are a lot in this genre), it is quite clear that they don't like those games :) As they have to think ;)

well, it's true that adventure games require even more thinking! :D
I don't know many people who like playing video games except games of the Wii sports kind. I have a couple of friends that do enjoy newer games but none that like old games and no-one that understands my excitement when I say I've just found a second hand copy of Outlaws (big box version!) for a reasonable price and I'm going to get to play it again for the first time in years.

Kunovski: what about you, do you have a lot of friends (or girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, that must be cool!) who share your passion in old games?
My girlfriend still plays old(er) games often. She's currently playing on Theme Hospital but also enjoys others like Pharaoh and Klonoa. Other not-so-old favourites of hers are Sacred and Unreal Tournament 2004.
My other half really only plays the sims game, i got her to try fallot 2 and she never made it out of the temple.
