1- age restrictions suck. Here in colorado, we have age restrictions on games. I hate those.
2- Where can I find this place? I wanna go there and play some games! :P

I don't know what has or hasn't been brought up, I read the first page and:

-Have snacks.
-Have PC and Console, people like both.
-"Remember kids, DDR pwns."
-Having it look tidy, but casual, is a little more inviting.

Most importantly--

-Don't get mauled by crazy idiots who want to play Counter Strike 24/7. :wink:

Well if you play music, please don't play something over and over and over and over. This place near where I live has Yellowcard playing throughout the ENTIRE day. It gets incredibly annoying. Especially if you hate that band...

Yellowcard... ew.

Yes, set up a suggestion box for music, and have people bring their own music in to play. If they don't bring in music, just put some really annoying music on so they'll be forced to.

---now that was funny

anyways, sounds like a cool business idea. i have some ideas for you;

1. definatley have some music/playlist/jukebox :!: in the backround, and have speakers outside for people on the sidewalk to hear
2. a miscellanious freebie thing would be a good idea as well
3. althoguh it might be expensive, u will have to keep the parts new in order for people to come back. eventually people will not want have have to pay to play a computer when they can play a better on for free at home
4. if you cannot afford all those parts for idea #3, have 2 kind of rates going, more expensive to play nicer computer and cheaper for not as nice computers.
5. have a big screen TV or a projection in the front of the store to show real-time gaming from on of the customers or a demo of a game, or just stuff about compter stuff...you could also put "this TV" in the front window to attract customers.

o and i just found this thread today so sorry if it old already or considerd a bump...
