Games Room

Above: Some workstations in the library being setup.

We have a new games room in the SFU Surrey library. Last week, we put in an arcade machine that plays about 10 or 15 old school games. My co-worker, Jordan, played it for a couple of hours on Friday after work. I have yet to try it out.

The room feels a bit like a museum when you walk in. There are shelves of old school Super Nintendo games. They also have PC, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and Gameboy Advance games. Today, I helped deliver an Xbox 360. I'm pretty sure the library will acquire a PS3 and a Nintendo Wii when they are released in November. It would be totally awesome. I plan on getting both for home anyway.

The purpose of the games room is to support teaching, learning, and research by faculty, staff, and students in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) according to their website. I think otherwise as a cool place to chill and play video games when I'm not working. Haha..

Peace.
