The method of claim 1, wherein the two-way interactions are adapted to cause a change in progress of game play by the apparently live opponent that is different from replay of the prior game play data, and wherein replay of recorded portions of the prior game play data, when desynchronized, is adapted to be adjusted in order to simulate consequences of said recorded portions so as to affect the game play.
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the two-way interactions are adapted to cause a change in progress of game play by the apparently live opponent due in part to synthesizing preferences of the live gaming participant.
13. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a third storage facility configured to be communicatively coupled to the first storage facility and the second storage facility, the third storage facility further being accessible by the server and enabled to store the prior game play data that is adapted to be transferred to and received from one of the first storage facility and the second storage facility.
