Projector Games will be making an appearance at the LAN. If you haven’t heard of them, they have a unique set of specially written games for a projector. This means that you can all play on the same screen at the same time. It’s crazy stuff. One game we are definitely playing is Bomberman. These guys hold the record for the biggest game, 35+ people in one game at the same time! We will be looking to beat that. They also have a load of other great games too. Check them and their site out.

If you have any more suggestions please let us know
