Yay, it's Friday!

[serene]

Here's my Friday Five:

1. What is your favorite board game?

Trivial Pursuit. I really love trivia games. LOVE them.

2. What is your favorite card game?

My favorite way to play cards is to play with my mom. What we do is play Gin Rummy and Pitch, alternating games. If we're tied after two games, we play a third. We tease each other, slap each other's hands away from good cards, and generally have a wonderful time.

3. Do you like to play games on the computer or on a gaming system?

I can't tell if that's an either/or question. But yeah, I do. I don't own a gaming system, though, so I do that when I'm with the niblings.

4. If so, what is your favorite game to play?

Lately, I play a lot of Snood, but what I really really wish I could play is an old Mac game that is only available on an emulator that I can't get to work on my Vista machine. Does anyone besides me remember The Fool's Errand?

5. Do you like to play games with people or to play them alone?

Depends on the game.

andres_s_p_b is a big ol' fan of The Fool's Errand and has gotten it to work over here somewhere (I can't remember if it was on his Mac laptop or on my computer, or on the last computer I had, or where, but functionality has been had). Dunno about Vista, though.

I remember Fool's Errand. I even think I played it once or twice. I think a roommate had it or something. I've actually been getting a yen to play some old textbased games like: Zork or Douglas Adams's Bureaucracy.

Someone I know (the person is slipping my mind right now) plays enough text-based adventures that they've decided to start writing them. Gosh, I wish I could remember who. Apparently, there's a competition every year --- Oh, yeah, it's Lucy, the woman at the DSP. She and her husband played all the competition finalists' games last year, and she said there's software out there that you can make games with without knowing how to program.

I should see if I can find that software. I certainly qualify as someone who doesn't know how to program. :-)
