Ahlman Arcade 2018

Ahlman Arcade 2018 is a collection of games made by the game industry students at Ahlman Institute.
All games were made during our ten month long school year as a joint effort between the programmers and graphic designers. The time spent developing each game varied, with some being made in a week or so and others taking over ten weeks to develop.
Our games have a diverse selection of different genres, ranging from colorful platformers and collect-a-thons to sport games, horror mysteries, racing games and bullet hell manias.
They can be found on the consoles and cabinets scattered about inside the Ahlman Arcade itself, so try to find and play them all!
In the Ahlman Arcade you can…

• Behold the Main Project Room, where we’ve placed our most valued and treasured game projects
  
• Take in the nostalgia in the Gamer Room or the Arcade Hall, and play games on old-school consoles and cabinets
  
• Visit the Museum of Graphics, and have a look at the artwork our graphic designers have made
  
• Find the hidden basement, and see what horrors await within…
