    Do they have controllers you can use?

    • soupfluencer on 24/11/2021 - 23:25

      Yep you can plug in Xbox controllers or I think PS

      • Big Lez on 24/11/2021 - 23:38

        Are they provided or BYO?

          Provided by the venue just have to ask at the reception when you’re booking a PC :) and

      Yes we do have controllers that are free to hire. You can also BYO if you prefer. Just ask at reception when you hire a pc.

    I’m surprised this place stayed open.

      I reckon this is exactly it. It's probably struggling. This is likely very expensive real estate and probably relies heavily on asian students to keep afloat, which they banked on pre-pandemic but aren't here now.

        And it opened one week before the first lockdown in March last year IIRC.

          place is also a massive ad for dell/alienware. (large intel chip mural, Alienware computers etc) which presumably helped to offset some of the costs. but yeah, unlucky timing with the opening.

          • ATangk on 25/11/2021 - 11:39

            @GailCat: Maybe they mined on the open rigs?

    To get this freebie, it means I have to… leave the house?

    • Zackeroo on 24/11/2021 - 21:11

      Have you considered taking the house with you?

      • dbmitch on 24/11/2021 - 21:16

        No, but I have considered bringing this establishment into my own home. Internet and a gaming PC oughta do it.

    I recommend the experience here, but I never go as it's so beyond expensive compared to other local PC cafes. They provide a pretty premium exp at least, full gremlin mode with food at your table is pretty nice.

      Thursday Uni Nights are worth I'd say. $15 for 2 hours and a pint. https://www.fortressmelbourne.com/bars-dining/#uninight

      • tomw20 on 24/11/2021 - 23:36

        Fair cop, but I don't live in the city so sad times to commute in to play on the PC when I could just do that at home :(

        damn prices have gone up.
        i used to pay $7 for all nighters (11pm - 7am)

          Fortress is very much an outlier though. Usually $12/hr for standard pc's, off peak, if you're not a member. Way way beyond any other internet cafe in vic. More for a "premium" pc.

          https://www.fortressmelbourne.com/pc-gaming/

          But their PC's are high end, and the venue is very unique. Proper kitchen/bar.

    I can only imagine the crowd this would bring :)

        Super nice place. Getting feeds delivered to the pc’s was epic and a great crowd

        • GailCat on 24/11/2021 - 22:46

          gotta imitate the experience of being at your parents' place :) . expected more from the menu as well, esp with the chips and snacks to share

    Lol, is it a coincidence the OzB meet up is here during the free play time? Ha ha I think not

    I have never plaid Fartress, what do you do, make holes?

    • NotSuchABigMac on 27/11/2021 - 13:13

      Not sure if joking, it's a fancy internet Cafe/pub in the city.

    It’s a really cool venue with amazing food and some great beer on tap. Highly recommend it.

    As a PS owner considering showing up to this to try out Halo.

    • AssociatedSergeant Salami @ Fortress Melbourne on 26/11/2021 - 12:41

      You can use one of our center accounts to launch and play Halo Infinite. You just need to login or create a free MS account.

    Can I play solitaire?

    • tomsco on 25/11/2021 - 06:56

      Only if you beat a level of Minesweeper first.

  • jubs on 25/11/2021 - 11:23

    Really love this place. Even more so since I heard they got an arcade alley with bishi bashi.

    • AssociatedSergeant Salami @ Fortress Melbourne on 26/11/2021 - 12:43

      We just got in Taiko no Tatsujin which is a Japanese drum game.

  • lainey13 on 06/12/2021 - 15:13

    Hope there's some sort of deal for later in December as I'd like to treat my husband for his birthday. A trek into the city is damn hard with a baby now so something like this would be good, just a little later in the month!
