Software: Can I install a game on the computer?
To request a new game for the computer, fill out a DiSCO Resource request and include that it's for the Game Room computer.
Couple of tips on installing software on the computer:
- Please check the computer before installing the games to avoid duplicate installs! This may cause problems with the machine.
- IT/DiSCO reserves the right to delete any game or data from the computer if:
- Storage is full - any games and data that have not been accessed for more than 1 semester will be deleted
- The game is impacting the functionality of the computer
- Gaming Software GuidelinesGuidelines for installing software, managing data, and usage of the hardware in the space.

Video game consoles (PS4, Nintendo mini, etc.) will be made available for checkout through the Circulation Desk. Any games in disc format can also be checked out through the library.
Gaming for Mac
Typically, we have Steam installed on the Mac computer in the Mix-2 (small audio room) in the DiSCO. If you need anything else installed on the computer, contact the DiSCO.
