There was little sleep to be had as gaming enthusiasts enjoyed a non-stop 24-hour Monster Local Area Network (LAN) party in Oamaru recently.

It was the first time a Monster LAN had been held in Oamaru, although smaller gatherings were held every couple of months.

Organisers were thrilled with the success of the event, which ran smoothly.

Among the games played, there were scheduled matches for Flatout 2, Race driver GRID, Quake III Arena, Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto - SanAndreas, Unreal Tournament III and HAWX.
