New Internet and PC Game Cafe From ZOOX Stations Makes Waiting Worthwhile at Denver International Airport

DENVER, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're stuck in a show stopping blizzard, or just have an hour to pass before boarding, the entertainment options coming to DIA's Concourses will change your attitude about captivity. ZOOX Stations, Inc. and RMES Communications, Inc. (RMES) have teamed up to bring the first Internet and PC game Cafe to Denver International Airport. With a slick privacy booth enclosure, travelers can now go beyond just checking their email and surfing the Internet. The ZOOX Stations cafe also features 19 of the hottest PC game titles, available to play locally or online. While these are the same titles gamers are addicted to in their home XBox(TM) and PlayStation(TM) set-ups, the DIA equipment is guaranteed to blow even the most spoiled gamer away.

The cafes are an innovative upgrade to the present "Shibby" Internet equipment, which have been a mainstay to DIA travelers since 2002. While RMES (DIA Internet provider) recognizes the ongoing demand for high-speed Internet, they were also forward thinking in capitalizing on the huge popularity of on-line gaming as a way to pass the time while captive in the terminal. The 23" screen is bolstered with an exceptional graphics card, sound system, and high-speed performance that will take users from frustrated traveler to engrossed gamer in record time. With 19 titles ranging from sophisticated on-line games -- to simply addictive titles, there is something for everyone (ESRB ratings from Everyone to Teen). In addition, game title content can be continually upgraded to keep current with demanding market standards.

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 solid source of entertainment. The newer, gaming aspect adds a whole new entertainment option that far surpasses the $7.00 concourse burger.

The Internet and Game cafe is the creation of ZOOX Stations, a Louisville based division of KIOSK Information Systems, the largest manufacturer of self-serve terminals in the world. ZOOX Stations was incorporated in 2006 as a subsidiary dedicated to development of cutting edge new products in the pay-for-use environment. This cafe (branded as ZAZOOX outside the airport environment) has been a slam-dunk performer with over 400 units ordered and fielding in military bases, truck stops, and now airports. According to Rick Malone, President of KIOSK and ZOOX Stations, "The single ingredient needed to make this machine a gamer magnet is idle time. 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."

The equipment is currently being installed in Concourses A, B, and C with additional equipment and main terminal services scheduled by July of 2007. Modestly priced at .25 / minute, users simply swipe their card to access a private, upscale, and innovative entertainment escape. Ask anyone trapped in the blizzard with their kids over Christmas -- it's cheap at twice the price.
