lemme see
Counterstrike is a great game to play on LAN
you need at least one RPG game i would recommend Red Alert 2
Don't get BG because it impossible to play that in an internet cafe
Diablo 2 is a good game for lan though
AoE2 is very populair on LAN

except for these i dunno
But it is gonna be expensive so make sure there's a market for this

Internet cafe's have a big market in the U.S.

MPlayer has just recently merged with GameSpy Arcade and a large number of games are available now, from simple card and board games to Counterstrike, QuakeII, Unreal Tournament, Baldar's Gate 2, and others.
They have voice capabilities and chats as well.
MPlayer used to be free when I used to play backgammon tournaments there but I haven't been there since before the merger so check out their site at: MPlayer and see if it would be possible to hook yourself up.
You have a great idea there...one that is gaining popularity everyday, especially in college and business districts.

Good Luck!

If you don't mind spending $8 a month. You can always go with Everquest. That's a good game to play over the net. (As the only way you can play it is over the net. Kinda sucks in a way.)

I've been thinking about Everquest. Some people at work play it. Anyone got any opinions?

i suggest Starcraft: Brood War for a strategy game... start from scratch every time, years of fun no matter how often you play it.

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

SSJ4Sephiroth,
I checked out your website.
Looks like that game has quite a following!
Have you thought of incorporating the link into your sig?

First contact with Countstrike came in Paris
So Nope
what is your obsession with linking CS with Singapore?
