Videogaming
In Chessiecon's video game room, our mission statement is to give you a fun, safe environment for everyone who loves video games to come play, with a focus on good
sportsmanship and friendly bonding over games. We have several consoles old and new, and we add to our collection every year! Come play on our provided computers or
bring your own to play Minecraft, Artemis and many other PC titles, bring your 3DS or other handheld games, or just come to watch or join in our other gaming-related
events and contests! Whatever your fancy, we do our best to provide for video game fans of all ages.
