Welcome to the Stardust Virtual Game Center (バーチャルゲームセンタースターダスト), a center for the discovery, research and advocacy of games.

We have all sorts of games here from all over the world, most of them configured for free play. The second floor has all the arcade games, the third floor has lots of different consoles, and the fourth floor has all sorts of weird computers, as well as some powerful modern builds. The fifth floor is dedicated entirely to kusoge, so please be careful. We also have a small balcony where you can smoke and talk about other things, and a big vending machine where you can buy snacks.

We also run regular Game Challenges (ゲームの挑戦状). A challenge could be a score attack, a time attack, some sort of weird condition or just trying to clear a game. You can think of it sort of like a "book club"...? A tier system is in place to account for different skill levels. Small rewards are awarded for participation and excellence in play, but it is not intended to be a harshly competitive environment.
I woke up one day and a thought came into my head. "I should play more video games! Everyone should play more video games!"
So I wondered - what if there was a relaxing place full of video games, where you can try lots of different things and talk games with other like-minded folk? Where you can argue into the late hours about health mechanics and scoring systems, or challenge yourself to improve your skills alongside your friends?
I decided - I want to run a game center! But it's a lot of hassle, things break so easily, and I don't really have the money, so I decided to make a virtual one instead.
I hope you enjoy your time at the virtual game center "Stardust".
