We all know of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. I was wandering if any electronic versions of this game have ever been made. Like a version of this game for PC that can be played with one player. I'd love to play this on PC if somebody has ever made something like it. We were playing it at work at the restaurant all night last night and a digital version would be great. If anybody knows if something like this even exists please let me know, thanks.
By the way when we were playing last night out most common movies to end on were Wild Things, Mystic River, and Apollo 13.

Thanks, I already know about that one. What I'm looking for more of a game where it will generate a random actor/actress/director whoever and have a massive database of other people. You could then get to Bacon and see if you were right. I guess the Oracle will have to do though since I don't think there are any single player games like this that would know if you were correct.

In theory, it's definitely possible. It'd just require an insanely huge database, listing nearly every feature film and the actors that are in it. After that database is done, the programming for producing a random name and checking the database to see if the connections you make are right would be pretty easy.
...So, if anyone feels like making that database for me, we could totally make that game together, we'd be bound to get rich off of it.

With things like IMDB, I don't see how that would be a problem. I actually had a really good mapped out game me and my friends did back in the day.

I mean try this game:

It's right 95% of the time, and you can choose anyone, real or fictional.

Holy crap Knyte, that was scary. He's good.
I was thinking of Raphael. When he started asking, "Is he a ninja?", "Is he green?" I knew I was boned.
EDIT: I picked Dexter from Dexter's Lab next. He was on the trail by question 6.

I tried it with Kevin Bacon and it guessed Gene Kelly originally, it got it eventually with a few more questions though.

Wow, went with Jesus Christ and he asked "Is this character the son of God?" on question 4.
I answered "I don't know" but he still guessed right a few questions later...

He couldn't get Robin Hood in the first round of questions. Instead he went with Yellowbeard... Also, he couldn't get Speed Levitch from Waking Life so I am a winner!

Holy fuckin' shit. I didn't remember some of the details, not sure if I answered all of the questions very well but he still guess Hey Arnold. Holy crap, that really blew me away, it didn't sound like he was getting far with his questions.
Took 40 to get Steve Buscemi. I beat with with Bobby Trippe, Ned Beatty's character in Deliverance. I tried Ned Beatty and he couldn't get it but I wasn't convinced I answered the questions all properly so I tried the character from deliverence and he couldn't get it.

Ah ha ha!
I stumped it with "The Berzerker" (aka John Nord).
It actually guess Shockmaster at one point, I guess I could see the connection.
