That is where FreeCiv comes in. :)
I wonder is a place where you could hang out and play old games on old
computers with your friends might work out better as a business? Maybe
have free computers and LAN/Internet and have it as the inducment to a
really good snack bar/sandwich/coffee place?
Sort of like the way Schlotsky's does this locally, but with more
emphasis on the computers and gaming. I know the computers are always
full at Schlotskys even on off hours.
