a PC club with its own pixel pet.
PIXELPET — a retro pixel computer club for 24 stations
Twenty-four seats, honest hourly rates, and a hall built for long sessions. The pixel pet walks the club and lives right here on the site — it strolls the bottom edge, watches your cursor, and naps when the lights go down.
- 24 stations
- 240Hz screens
- 8pm–6am weekdays
Three ways to sit down
The club is one bright room split into three zones. Every seat gets the same screen and the same clean peripherals — you pick the row that fits how you play. No queue math: pick a spot when you book.
Carrot corner
Four top seats in the quiet corner, tuned for practice and ranked ladders. Bigger desks, wider mousepads, and a little more elbow room when the match runs late.
- 4 premium stations
- 32″ screens, 240Hz
- Adjustable chairs & desks
Duo desks
Two paired seats built for co-op and side-by-side coaching. Share one voice channel, split one snack, and keep a single scoreboard between you. Booked as a pair.
- 2 linked seats per desk
- Shared shelf & cable tray
- Great for teaching a friend
Rates that read like a menu
Pay by the hour or grab a block — no membership, no small print. Every check-in also feeds the pet: each visit adds one segment to the club's weekly fullness bar. It buys nothing, it's just how we count a good week together.

Meet the mascot
The pet: 24 pixels tall, always on shift
The club has a scoreboard by the counter, and years ago someone drew a tiny 24×24 sprite in the corner of it as a joke. It never left. Now the pet is our timekeeper: it lives on the board at the desk, wakes when the first booking of the night lands, and "eats" a token every time a visitor checks in.
Feeding is symbolic — nothing to buy, nothing to win. Each check-in nudges the weekly fullness bar one segment along, so the whole club can see how full the week has been. Once a season the pet has a name-day: an open house where the hall is free to wander, the scoreboard runs a highlight reel, and first-timers get a quick tour of the rows.
Come feed itNotes from the scoreboard
Our little rubric: three short entries a week, written from the pet's corner of the board.
Tuesday, quiet start. Seven check-ins by midnight, then the Green rows filled for a scrim. Forty-seven feeds by close — I'm stuffed. Someone left a spare mousepad on desk 9; it's mine now.
the pet · Tue log
Duo desks ran co-op all night and I watched every round from the board. Two players learned a new map from scratch. The fullness bar hit nine segments. Good week so far, ears up.
the pet · Thu log
Night owls booked the whole Carrot corner. I dozed in the corner between feeds while the screens hummed. Woke up to sixty-one visits on the tally. Napped again. This is the job and I love it.

A few frames from the club — and yes, the pet stuck a sticker on each caption.
Questions we hear at the counter
Is the pet a real animal?
No — it's a pixel sprite, twenty-four squares tall, and that's the whole point. Nothing to feed for real, nothing to clean up after. It lives on the scoreboard and on this page, and it's the friendliest timekeeper you'll ever share a hall with.
What does "feeding the pet" actually do?
Each check-in adds one segment to the club's weekly fullness bar. It's a shared tally, not a reward scheme — no points, nothing to redeem, nothing to win. It simply lets everyone see how busy the week has been, and gives the pet something to be smug about.
How do I book a station?
Use the Book & feed form below: pick a date, a zone, and how long you're staying. We hold the seat and confirm by email. Walk-ins are welcome too whenever a Green rows seat is open — the counter will point you to a free one.
Can I bring my own gear?
Bring your own keyboard, mouse or headset and plug straight in — every station has spare USB and a 3.5mm jack up top. Please don't open the towers or swap internal parts; if something feels off, wave at the counter and we'll sort the seat out for you.
What's different about the night block?
Night owl runs Friday and Saturday from 11pm to close. The hall dims, the music drops, and the pet curls up in its corner. Same screens, same seats — just a quieter room for late practice and long sessions with fewer walk-ins around you.
Games for every kind of player
Sit down at any station and the whole library is yours. We keep a broad shelf so a fast reflex-shooter night and a slow builder session can share the same hall. Everything runs local on the club rigs at a steady frame — pick a mood, load in, and the pet logs your check-in.
Action & shooters
Twitchy competitive rounds and story-driven adventures for when you want the frame rate to earn its keep. The 240Hz screens and wired mice were tuned for exactly this.
- Ranked ladders & casual queues
- Quick-match or a full campaign
- Voice channels per row
Strategy & builders
Base-building, city sims, tactics and long turn-based campaigns for the players who like to think three moves ahead. Grab a Carrot corner seat and let the match run late.
- Real-time and turn-based both
- Roomy desks for the long haul
- Great in the quiet night block
Casual & co-op
Cosy sandboxes, party games, platformers and easy-going co-op you can pick up in a spare hour. Bring a friend to a Duo desk and share one scoreboard between you.
- Play side by side or online
- Short sessions welcome
- Nothing to install — just load in
Free slots
Free slots — open seats after 8pm
Our house social game: a laid-back computer game you play on the club PCs just for the fun of it. It runs on the same rigs as everything else, purely for laughs and bragging rights around the row.
To be crystal clear: this is not gambling and not played for money. No bets, no stakes, no payouts — nobody wins or loses a cent. It is simply a free game on the screen, open to anyone in the hall after 8pm.
- Free to join — no charge, no tickets
- No money involved, no betting of any kind
- Just a PC game you play for fun
