I saw Titanic during its opening weekend. Will never forget the sight of the teenage girls departing the theater all in tears.

Me? I shed a tear also. During the scene where the ship is underway full steam ahead. I'm a history buff and the sight of those magnificent coal fueled boilers was a thing of beauty.

What bothered me is Rose has a 2-3 day fling with Jack but is married to another guy for 30-40 years and when she dies, she’s in heaven with Jack? My wife says I think too much.

"I'm a history buff and the sight of those magnificent coal fueled boilers was a thing of beauty."

Back in 1996, the computer game "Titanic: Adventure Out of Time" was released. I bought it for my Mac. I liked it because of the detailed interiors of the ship. Wish someone would revise it, and re-release it. Cryo Interactive Entertainment, a French company (now defunct), produced several interesting computer games in the late 90's. One of them was "Versailles 1685," which consisted of a mystery, and you were able to wander all around the palace and grounds. They even included the original Aesop Fables maze that Louis XIV had put in. Cryo released a second Versailles game titled "Versailles II: Testament of the King." This one I believe was just for PC's, and it was in French. I'm not a shoot-'em-up, or building cities, armies etc., game player. I prefer adventure games of a historical nature that require me to solve puzzles. Unfortunately, there are few and far of those games today, that you can play on a computer. I wouldn't waste my time buying a game console since I rarely play them, but it would be nice if they were updated and made available for purchase. The last game I purchased for my MacBook Air was the revised HD version of "Riddle of the Sphinx - The Awakening." I had the game years ago when it first came out. Can't remember if I ever finished it back then, and was surprised that the company had updated it.
