LOUISVILLE, Colo. — ZOOX Stations Inc. and RMES Communications Inc. have teamed to bring the first Internet and PC game Café to Denver International Airport, according to a news release.
Using a booth enclosure, travelers can now go beyond just checking their e-mail and surfing the Internet — the stations also feature PC game titles that are available for local or online play.
The cafes are an upgrade to the present "Shibby" Internet equipment, which have been a mainstay to DIA travelers since 2002.

The interface guides users to one of two tiers of use — high-speed Internet or PC gaming. Quick links to popular sites like MySpace, YouTube, and Google are one source of entertainment. The gaming aspect adds a whole new entertainment option, the company says.
The Internet and Game café is the creation of ZOOX Stations, a Louisville, Colo.-based division of KIOSK Information Systems.
"The single ingredient needed to make this machine a gamer magnet is idle time," said Rick Malone, president of KIOSK and ZOOX Stations. "Our development team has included the highest caliber gaming technology and a full complement of industry-leading title options that appeal to even the most sophisticated gamer. With RMES' attention to quality operation, we are extremely confident it will be a hit with DIA patrons."
Main terminals at the airport are expected to integrate the equipment and services by July.
