Players Information

    Deadline for RSVP
      This list will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis determined by when RSVP's are received.

    Computer System Requirements
      You must be able to bring each of the items on the Players Checklist. If you need any of these or other pieces of hardware, let us know ahead of time as we have some extras and would love to accommodate you.   

      DISCLAIMER: In order to bring a computer you must be able to meet the minimum system requirements for the games you would like to play, which are all listed below. In most cases this means your OS must be Windows 98 or better. If you would like to bring a computer that runs an OS other than Windows (ie. Mac, Linux etc.) then you are responsible for obtaining copies of the software for the games we are playing, and you are responsible for understanding your networking capabilities so you can play with us.
       
    Players Checklist
      You MUST at the very least bring each of the following:
      • Software for any game you wish to play
      • All power cords (most likely at least 2, for monitor and box)
      • Cat 5 networking cable
         
      • PLEASE LABEL all of your cords, software, and anything else you are bringing that you would like to take home with you, we had a large lost and found at our last party.

      We have extras of each of the above, if you need something let us know when you RSVP so we can accommodate you.


    So what are we playing?

      Here is a list of the games we will be supporting, the final list of what is played will ultimately be up to the gamers and is completely flexible. Our LAN will have internet access, so specific patches may be downloaded the day of the party.  System Requirements and links to game descriptions are available at the bottom of this page.
      • Starcraft - Broodwar
      • Warcraft III
      • Atomic Bomberman

      Any of the games you would like to play you are responsible for obtaining and installing onto your computer.  Soldat and Bomberman are freeware and both take 2 seconds to learn and 2 minutes to master, great party games!
