AB - The old game is the point-open one discovered independently by F. Galvin [7] and R. Telgársky [17]. Recall that it is played on a topological space $X$ as follows: at the $n$-th move the first player picks a point $x_n\in X$ and the second responds with choosing an open $U_n\ni x_n$. The game stops after $\omega $ moves and the first player wins if $\cup \lbrace U_n:n\in \omega \rbrace =X$. Otherwise the victory is ascribed to the second player. In this paper we introduce and study the games $\theta $ and $\Omega $. In $\theta $ the moves are made exactly as in the point-open game, but the first player wins iff $\cup \lbrace U_n:n\in \omega \rbrace $ is dense in $X$. In the game $\Omega $ the first player also takes a point $x_n\in X$ at his (or her) $n$-th move while the second picks an open $U_n\subset X$ with $x_n\in \overline{U}_n$. The conclusion is the same as in $\theta $, i.eṫhe first player wins iff $\cup \lbrace U_n:n\in \omega \rbrace $ is dense in $X$. It is clear that if the first player has a winning strategy on a space $X$ for the game $\theta $ or $\Omega $, then $X$ is in some way similar to a separable space. We study here such spaces $X$ calling them $\theta $-separable and $\Omega $-separable respectively. Examples are given of compact spaces on which neither $\theta $ nor $\Omega $ are determined. It is established that first countable $\theta $-separable (or $\Omega $-separable) spaces are separable. We also prove that 1) all dyadic spaces are $\theta $-separable; 2) all Dugundji spaces as well as all products of separable spaces are $\Omega $-separable; 3) $\Omega $-separability implies the Souslin property while $\theta $-separability does not.
