I remember playing “Ghost in the Graveyard” when I was young…basically Hide & Seek at night. Am I showing my age be remembering that game?

Aside from the childhood staples of tag and such my best friend and I would play Star Trek. I was McCoy and she was Spock. If the third girl on the block, Penny, joined in she was Kirk. I don’t remember playing Lost in Space, Gunsmoke or other shows, just the Star Trek. Could STar Trek have also encouraged the beginnings of role-playing games??
