Hello roos,this is heidi,i was just wanting to know if there was going to be a game room there?I'm hopeing there will be that would be really cool!!! ;D
i think i read that there was a game room but i never ran into it.. i went into the arcade thing and the techno music was the loudest thing i have ever experienced, you could scream and not hear it, in fact im sure many of you listened to its rythmic thuds late into the night, or i guess ishould say earlyinto the morning last year, i think you could hear it just about everywhere, we could feel it through the ground where we were.... man i love roo

One being the arcade (which during the day is pretty serene compared to its late-night counterpart). The arcade was fucking awesome. Playing Marble Madness for half an hour as I wake up was a dream.
The second game tent was an air conditioned tent with tables, couches and chairs and full of board games. I know a few people that loved it, but I'm not much of a board game kid.
In the arcade tent, what kind of games do they have? I mean do they pay homage to the old school days with things like After Burner or X-men and the Simpsons, or do they have all games you could imagine? I'm thinking i might have to stumble over there some day or night depending if it is worth it.

i was pretty messed up... if i remmeber correctly it is almost all oldskool... i didnt see many new games.. and also if i remmeber correctly there is a video clip on roos website in the archive section about the arcade, its only about a minute long but you can see the place and some of the games in the background...and as previously stated it will probably be the loudest place you have ever been at night... actually i think it was only so loud on thursday night as there was no music to interfer with, you could hear it everywhere....you could seriously scream as loud as you could and not be able to hear yourself inside the place

The arcade tent is sponsored by XBox, and there are shitty X-Boxes available in a couple of corners... but the rest of it is pure HEAVEN to gamers-- tons and tons of old school games, even sit-down ones. Heck, they even had the old vector ones. And some middle-80's games.
Crystal Castle, DK Junior, Marble Madness, Pac, even that odd Kangaroo boxing thing. I fell on my knees the moment I got in there.
Yea, the arcade was a nice break from all the nonsense elsewhere. Lots of cool old games as well as current Xbox stuff (including Halo!). It was great to cool off for a few minutes, re-enact some of my childhood and then get back to the music. Definatly way too loud inside tho.
God I suck at Q-Bert, but I still love to play it.
I was on Joust and Marble Madness (I have much more patience with Marble Madness now that I'm older). And some game whose name I can't remember that you sat down for- it was like "Satan's" something- but it was loud as hell.

KARMA FOR THAT paranoid. That would be AWESOME.
One of my favorite of all the moments was Thursday night in '04, when I heard the arcade DJ spin the Ghostbuster theme. I was talking the whole way to Tennessee about how great that song would be to hear at Bonnaroo. And I got it. Magical.
Yeah the arcade disco is the greatest idea ever. They seriously have all the classics. I played that sit-down Sinistar during the break between DMB and Mars Volta while I was eating fungi. The loudest most obscene and magnificient thing ever. You think its a place to rest and relax between sets, but its the total opposite. Everyone dancing a playing, it was like that scene from TMNT. It was also cool because the staff (or some nice person) just started putting quarters in all the machines.
All-- check out Capcom's Classic Collection- I just bought it today. Ghost N Goblins (and the 2 sequels), 1942 (+ two sequels), Street Fighter II (+ two sequels), Final Fight, Bionic Commando, Gun.Smoke & more...

Final Fight is so great. I love the co-op ass-beating games like that (double dragon, vendetta, tmnt, The Simpsons, etc.). Anything that is platform based w/ levels & bosses is an instant clsasic.
