The game list is out of date, I know. It will be updated after Unlimited Night though. But to recap, we have In The Groove, four Fabi Jitz tables, and should be getting more MAME emulators soon. Unfortunately, Drumania and Guitar Freaks will not be updated to V right now, but it does not mean the possibility of an upgrade has been completely ruled out. Finally, Unlimited Night is scheduled for April 2, 2005. More information is located in the events section.

Beatmania IIDX RED is now at Orbit! The machine is fully functional now. In addition to the actual upgrades, we also recieved displays and posters, which will be the prize in a tournament we are planning to hold. Check back for more information on the tournament. We also have Half-Life 2 installed on a few computers, which includes Half-Life 2 Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source.

We have some exciting things happening at Orbit in the following weeks. First of all, our opinion form is available at the counter for customers. Please feel free to fill one out. Capcom Fighting Jam has been installed, and the Drumania machine has been fixed. DDR has now been moved beside Initial D machine. There will be another DDR machine coming in, as well as an Initial D version 3 English cabinet. These machines will be replacing Mazan and Virtual On. Hopefully, these changes will occur in the next 24 hours. Next Tuesday, we have plans to move in Time Crisis 3, Drumania 4th Mix, virtua Cop 3, Silent Scoope EX, OutRun 2, and Tokyo Cop. The games being moved out are Biohazard, Punchmania, and Keyboardmania. Finally, we hope to bring in three Tekken 5 machines and a Beatmania IIDX Red machine before the next weekend. We also plan to replace Derby Owners Club with more Jitz tables.

Hopefully, this is enough incentive for you to attend our next Unlimited Night, which is on December 18, 2004. Please read the events page for more details.

Orbit is getting a new K.O. Tournament card, which entitles the user to get discounts when signing up for tournaments, as well as 2 hours of netcafe time if you upgrade. If you do not wish to upgrade, you may still use your VIP card just the same, but you will not get hours when you renew, nor will you be able to get discounts in tournaments. This new system will be implemented a few weeks from now, so get ready for it.

We're getting several new games for Orbit in the next few weeks. First, we will be getting Capcom Fighting Jam next week, followed by Tekken 5 in the next few weeks. Beatmania IIDX Red will arrive before Christmas, and the Initial D version 2 deluxe cabinets will be replaced with Initial D version 3 twin cabinets. Yes, th regular cabinets, so you need not worry aout uncomfortable sitting positions.

Finally, just a reminder to everybody that Unlimited Night is set for Saturday, December 18, 2004 from 8PM to 1AM. We also plan on running more tournaments if possible for various games, so if you have an idea, please post it in our forums.

First of all, thre will be no more Freaky Fridays for the remainder of the year. However, we will attempt to hold more regular Unlimited Nights for the year. Gamewisse, we will soon have Beatmania IIDX 11th Mix, as well as Tekken 5. We also have Z Gundam DX in stock, so spread the word. We also have some ideas in the working, such as tournament ideas and so forth. Finally, the next Unlimited Night is set for December 18th and we hope to see you all there.

Wow, after over four months of inactivity, the site will finally get an update. First, I would like to state to all those who aren't aware, we have several new games, including OutRun 2, Virtua Cop 3, and Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune. For those who are waiting on upgrades to games, I'm pleased to announce that in October, we will be installing Beatmania IIDX 11th Style as well as an upgrade to the Gundam machines. Pop and Music is also on the update list, but we have yet to hear from our supplier.

We also have a special promotion that occurs every Friday. Every game in Orbit will be set to one token per play starting from 7:00PM until closing time. For more details and rules regarding fair conduct during this promotion, please see the events section.

Finally, I would like to announce that we now have our own IRC chat channel on GameSurge. Simply connect to irc.gamesurge.net and join channel #estarburst. We will add a Java based chat program into the Contact section in the near future. For now, you must use an IRC client to connect.

First of all, we've cleaned the Dance Dance Revolution pads and given them a full cleaning, so they should be more responsive now. The prices for Drumania and Guitar Freaks has also been lowered from three tokens per credit to two tokens per credit. Finally, we are also looking into getting a Beatmania IIDX 10th Style machine.

In other events, there will be a Derby Owners Club tournament for both beginners and adnaced palyers alike. The Beginner tournament date is set for the 15th of april, and you can only use computer bred horses.

Finally, the next Unlimited Night is set for Saturday, May 8th, 2004. For more details, please check the events section.

We have a new layout, as well as new pricing for various games. The price for Initial D version 3 has been lowered to two tokens to start and continue, and three tokens for a card. Derby Owners Club also has a special pricing. Three tokens gets you one game credit, 5 tokens gives 2 game credits, 7 tokens gives three game credits, and nine tokens gives you four game credits. A card for Dreby Owners Club costs three credits, or seven tokens now. Finally, if you want the full set if Initial D version 3 green cards, you may purchase it from the counter for only $25.00.

Another Unlimited Night is scheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2004 from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Pricing is the same, $15.00 for non-VIPs and $10.00 for VIP members. Remember that VIP members also get a free pop, and who knows, maybe there will be pizza compliments of Orbit again.

Finally, we're working on a new layout for the site, so many of the pages won't be up for awhile. Please visit the forums for the most up to date information. Note that you have to register to post.

Okay, first of all, the news some people have been waiting for. Japanese Initial D version 3 has arrived at Orbit! Prices are three tokens to start, three tokens to get a card, and three tokens to continue. Just got installed today, so go check them out sometime. On another note, the price for ParaParaParadise 2nd Mix has dropped to two tokens.

Finally, the next Unlimited Night dat is set for Saturday, Febuary 21, 2004, from 8PM to 1AM. See the event page for more details.

With the new year comes new games, naturally. First of all, for all those who are waiting for Initial D version 3, the kits are set to arrive on January 27, so they'll be installed sometime after they arrive. Also, the Battle Gear 3 tournament is underway, with updates as to who has the fastest times at the moment. Check the events section or the forums for the current top five leaders of the tournament.

Those who are looking for an Unlimited Night, planning is in the works, but look for it to be on Febuary 21st, so just keep your patience a bit longer.

Merry Christmas to all of you people out there from Orbit Entertainment! And what's Christmas without a few gifts?

First of all, to the music community, we give you Drumania 9th Mix and guitar Freaks 10th Mix. Enjoy! To the racing community, we have the Battle Gear 3 tournament to ocupy your minds with. Finally, a Derby Owners Club tournament is in the making. Please see the posters in Orbit for more details.

Now, to those who are wondering why there were so many people around the DDR machine on December 20th, well, that was the Eversnow DDR tournament. Results will be posted once we get them in. Happy Holidays!

Well, if you haven't noticed, we have four Battle Gear 3 machines, two of which have access to the Internet for Internet Rankings. Special thanks to Benton Yao, who provided us with a link to an informative site on Battle Gear 3 for players in Canada.

Word is that many people wants Orbit to get Drumania9 and Guitar Freaks 10, as well as F-Zero AX. If enough interest is shown and a machine with a reasonable price tag is found, it may be possible.

There is also a DDR tournament coming up in December 20, but spaces are filled. Check back for more information.

Battle Gear 3 is now at Orbit! This version of Battle Gear features an Internet ranking, as well as your own unique key, so you may customize a car to your liking. Drop by to check out this latest addition!

Unfortunely, no word regarding Unlimited Night yet, but note that Battle Gear 3 and Derby Owners Club will not be on free play. There has been talk about an Unlimited Night speicifically for Derby Owners Club players, but nothing confirmed. We'll keep you posted.

The Derby Owners Club machines seem to be doing quite well, and the netcafe has a total of twelve computers now. Anyways, the netcafe section is up, which include what foodage we have here at Orbit.

No word on the next Unlimited Night, but we will try to keep you posted. Take note that Derby Owners Club will not be on free play during Unlimited Night. And before I forget, Battle Gear 3 is coming soon!

Derby Owners Club is now in! Unfortunely, we had to sacrifice three banks of computers to make room for them, so the netcafe only has ten computers for customer use. But from what was observed, Derby Owners Club seems to have gone off a successful start. If you were one of the lucky ones to get a coupon for a free card, consider yourself lucky, as each card costs quite a bit.

Website wise, the links pages is now up, assuming the upload went through.

The new layout is up, altough the supporting pages aren't necessarily uploaded yet. I believe that the netcafe, events, links, and contact pages are not up at the time of this writing, so avoid clicking them.

Now onto the more important items. As you know, Unlimited Night is tonight. Beatmania IIDX 8th Style is back at two tokens per game at Orbit, and Battle Gear 3 should be in within the week. We are also removing all but twelve computers to make room for eight Derby Owners Clubmachines soon. Drop by to check out the latest additions some day.

Next Unlimited Night date is set for Saturday, November 8, 2003 from 8PM until 1AM. Costs are the same, being $10 for VIP members and $15 for everyone else. Remember that VIP members get a free pop, and all games including Initial D will be set to free play.

As for the contents of the site, a better version is underway.

Okay, the Games section as well as the Netcafe section are vastly out of date now. But to recap, Dance Dance Revolution is now only two tokens, and Beatmania has been moved to Waterloo Campus Cove. However, Time Crisis 3 is in, and a new Half-Life mode, The Specialist, has been installed on computers 22 and 23.

Also, there are several unique new pricings for the netcafe. First of all, eveyr Friday the cost per hour is down to $1.00 per hour. Any other day after 9:00PM, a flat rate of $6.00 applies.

Alright, made a few updates to the site...okay, just added the Unlimited Night information on it. Anyways, there's going to be more updates after UN, because I need to get some information directly from Orbit, and the best way is on UN, so yeah. Hope to see y'all there!

Well, guess what people, Unlimited Night is back! On Saturday, May 17, 2003 from 8:00PM to 1:00AM, you can play all the games you want for only $15.00. If you don't want to pay that much, please visit our forum and register for a coupon, and you only have to pay $10.00 to enter. If you have a VIP membership from Orbit, you don't need a coupon, and you only need to pay $5.00. Please remember to bring your VIP card though. Happy gaming to all!

As bruce stated in our Announcement forum, there will be no further Unlimited Nights or any other events taking place at Orbit until the SARS issue has been resolved. This is mainly to help prevent the spread of the disease, and we apoligize to those that were looking forward to the VIP only Unlimited Night coming up this April. We will inform you when events will proceed as schedule.

If you remember, the old site wasn't exactly kept up to date all the time, se we've revamped the entire thing when we decided to update. But given the nature of starting from stratch, most of the old data was lost, especially in the games section. The web team will try to get the information up ASAP.

We also would like to apoligize for the cancellation of Unlimited Night at such short notice. If there are any changes with furthur events, we will post it up when we are notified.

Had to format my hard drive, so I pretty much lost everything, including all my VO stuff. At least I made a backup copy of this and was able to retrive some other stuff. Anyways,I hope I can get most, if not all the pictures of the games at Orbit by the end of the month. Which reminds me, how's going to Unlimited Night? I'm definately going. I'll be the guy with the JVC camcorder and the VO:OM shirt, hard to miss.

For those that are wondering where the redemption games are, they've been moved to Market Village to a place called DreamLand. My guess is they're making Orbit a more "teen" oriented place and DreamLand a more "child" oriented place, but I could be wrong. And to all you people in the CS tournament, good luck at that!

Yay, with the end of exams, I can concentrate on other things now. I still don't have PhotoShop yet, but I can do the other stuff, such as refine the other sections and make a few unseen changes. Note that I still don't have enough information to finish up the Netcafe section, so that option has been removed for now. I'll try to get some pictures of each game up so you can see what they look like sometime after the next UN.

Oh yeah, before I forget, ckeck out the Counter-Strike tournament that Orbit is having in the Events section. Well, I'm gone for now again.

Okay, I finally got around to making a skeleton of sorts of the Orbit site. I intend to add a few dozen things, such as more detailed description of the games, compile a bunch of links, and so on. Several things that will change are the menu, as well as constant updates to games, information on the NetCafe, and events. Take note that the NetCafe and Events sections are not up yet, but I'll try to get something on them as soon as I can. If you have visited the TorVOC site, you might notce that they are both virtually the same in structure. Just a little tidbit for you all to observe.
