| The Playing Fields LAN
Gaming |
The emergence of "fun pubs" in the
1980's and more recently "Internet Cafes"
offered a radical departure from the traditional pub and cafe culture.
The option
now exists to do much more than just drink and eat.
A new concept of communal entertainment has arrived in London, which
is set to render all its predecessors obsolete. The Playing Fields,
complete with the decor of a trendy capital city night spot and a
number of multi-player, networked computer games is the natural progression
from its 20th Century siblings. "It is a totally new form of
entertainment experience," enthuses Charles Allen, The Playing
Fields Technical Director.
