Game-on Tournament

The Game-On tournament was a really good atmosphere! We had a pretty good turn out for the first one. Each person that arrived and paid entrance got a ticket which gets them £1 off anything at The Game-On store on King Street, Belper!

This poster was put all over town, with the basic information about the tournament. This Games tournament was a first for Belper on this scale and definitely a first for the Drop Inn and Game-On. We basically converted the Drop Inn into a giant arcade, the atmosphere was amazing as you walked around. There was so many different games going on at one time!


This was the tournament break down on the second poster. Showing which ages category will be playing what game.

On all the other screen's there was retro classic games like Crash team racing, halo, Soul Caliber, and many more on request. The projector that had skate on it swapped for Need for speed Shift later on as the crowd changed. On the other T.V's that were set up there was also the chance to test some of the latest released games like left 4 dead 2!

Guitar hero was set up for the entire duration, only to be upgraded by the full band kit. This screen was used as the back ground music which created such a nice atmosphere. The other main speakers from our sound system were used for this screen, so the quality of sound was the best for this music based game! It was a great experience!

Fifa 10 was the first tournament to be set up with more people wanting to compete on it. There was a few people saying thegame was more interactive with it being played on a cinema sized projection screen. This game was later replace for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the over 18's tournament. This screen also had the base bins from the Frankenstein sound system so it sounded brilliant. As you walked around you could hear the thundering base from this room!

Another really popular game was Mario Kart for the Wii. Which we had intended only leaving on for the younger people attending, but due to popular demand it stayed on all day. It was projected on the new smart board which also made the colours of this already bright game even more colourful!
