Gaming shops in Singapore
If LAN shops were an important part of your childhood, you might remember scrimping and saving on pocket money, and racing to a nearby one right after school to game with friends.
LAN shops were at their prime then, because back in the day, computers weren’t a household item. These days, people have their own customised set-ups and no longer have a reason to visit a LAN shop.
But if you’re gaming on a toaster, suffering from sucky internet or looking to take a trip down memory lane, here are six affordable LAN shops in Singapore for a lag-free gaming session.

Cheap LAN shops in Singapore
While nothing can beat the comforts of home, LAN shops can be a great alternative if you can’t afford an expensive setup of your own, or if you can’t game into the night because you might disturb your family members.
Plus, they’re a real lifesaver when your computer or internet is down, and aren’t that pricey either.
