Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What games do you have?

The list is long.. we have over 50 games to choose from, as well as Internet and productivity apps like Microsoft Office, and Mozilla Firefox. We can also accommodate special needs software or specific applications, just let us know. We hand pick the games on our system, and as both an iGames affiliate and a Valve Cybercafe center, we can get your blood pumping.

Try out the newest and coolest shooters and FPS games such as Unreal Tournament 3, Quake Wars, Crysis, Team Fortress 2, or stick with an old classic like Counterstrike, F.E.A.R. combat, Battlefield 2142, or the famed Half-Life series of games. Test drive new RTS behemoths like Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and show your friends and the world who rules the roost. We even have some of the top puzzle games at That Computer Store. Get your Chuzzle on, or rock some Zuma Deluxe (Justin's personal favorite).

Are my kids safe?

That Computer Store is a family and kid friendly environment. Our cafe software is designed to allow your child to play only the games that are appropriately rated for them by the ESRB. Additionally, we are very careful to hand pick the games in our center. When your underage child logs on, he is automatically prevented from loading games that he or she is not approved to play. For more information on ESRB guidelines, visit http://www.esrb.org.

Do you guys have food and drinks at the store?

So what kind of internet connection does the store have?

You know, a lot of centers offer "Full T-1" gaming. T-1's are great, but they're soooo 2001. We've got a mainline to Time Warner's Packet Prioritized High Speed network, and it rocks.

What is Packet Prioritization, you may ask? Well, in a nutshell it means your gamerlicious data packets of death are more important than granny's email as it speeds down the information Superhighway. If you've GOT to be the best in your next World of Warcraft jaunt to the Outlands, you have to feel our more than 2 Megabits of upstream data flow. Your game connection is no longer the bottleneck... only at TCS.
