For example:
Round 1 - Go head to head in a puzzle game on the Sega Genesis
Round 2 - Battle it out in a shooting game on the PS3
Round 3 - Finish a level in an NES game faster than the other entrants to move on!
Massive Free-Play Area

Relax with friends and make new ones in our expansive free-play area. Pick from our library of over 1,000 games, and play on a large variety of consoles ranging from retro to recent! Enjoy old favorites and maybe even discover a few new ones!
