Emirates - a daft question!
We are flying with UAE on our validation trip to Perth in 3 weeks time. I have a question that seems rather daft but could be the difference between me arriving sane or totally out of my mind!!
Blokes and kids will be able to answer this:
On the aircraft thay advertise a games system, does anyone know what kind of games you can play? I mean, are we talking Pacman & Space Invaders (in which case I will arrive out of my mind), or are we talking Playstation, Xbox quality (in which case, I may just arrive sane)??
Any help appreciated for this 32 year old teenager!!

I am not a games player but if it's Emirates and the aircraft has the new "ICE" entertainment system there are many games which can be played both individually or interactively with others on the flight. This system has over 100 chanels and movies can be stoped or paused at will, especially useful when food is being served.
A question for you from a female. Do men/boys ever grow up?
Enjoy your flight.

91 Nintendo Games. Save me taking my GBA.
Rob, emirates site say's:
up to 50 inflight games where they can test their knowledge of trivia, go golfing or play Hangman
It doesn't say how good they are though.
Do you want to borrow my GBA

Re: Emirates - a daft question!
Never flown Emirates but been on Malaysian and Singapore and their games systems were early 90s standards. Mario Bros and the like. Basic but lots to choose from. Retro cool maybe!?

China Eastern airlines has a chess-set on the plane , but 2 of the pawns are missing and the black king is a salt-shaker.

Hopefully you won't see "Captain Seat" playing as they should have better things to do!
The systems are a bit rubbish and I was told if they crash they can only reset the whole system not individuals screens.....on the way back mine crashed while still on the tarmac at Sydney airport...dough!
Still Skycam is cool !
