Abstract

A method of interfacing used on a network having a central computer system and a plurality of remote computer systems is provided. Each remote computer system includes a video display. Applied to video games, the method creates a first visual representation of a first player on a first remote computer system, identifies an interest and a skill level of the first player for at least one video game, indicates predetermined personal characteristics of the first player, saves the visual representation, interest, skill levels and personal characteristics of the first player, accesses the central computer system from the first remote computer system, selects a second player who has accessed the central computer system from a second remote computer system, and invites the second player to play a selected video game. The second player may access the visual representation, interest, skill levels and personal characteristics of the first player.
