Armor Games

If it’s possible to find “art house video games”, Armor Games is probably the place to look.  Unlike the mage-companies typically found in the industry, Armor Games is made up of individuals who are simply passionate about their craft – so passionate that they release new titles on an almost daily basis.

Dr. Dare’s Lab will be transformed into a showcase for some of the company’s favorite titles from several genres, including:  

  • Puzzle/Skill
  • Action/Adventure
  • Pixel/Artistic
  • Role Playing
  • Click & Shoot
  • Defense
  • Best Of


Armor Games ties in perfectly with Otronicon’s workshop series, as students can see the potential fruits of their hard work.

 

Club Otron

For those of us that just can't sit still, spend some time in Club Otron.  There you'll find a larger than life version of Dance Dance Revolution.  The game is set on a wall of monitors for the ultimate DDR experience.

New this year... DJ Hero!  From the makers of Guitar Hero, DJ Hero features an amazing variety of music across genres. Using an authentic turntable controller, you can spin and scratch more than 102 songs into unique mixes and become the life of the party.

 

Free Play

Try your hand at some of today's hottest titles like Guitar Hero in a free play format.  This area also hosts a variety of action and adventure games played on all the major platforms like Wii, PS3 and X Box 360.

U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) SFC Paul Ray Smith Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC) will provide a "Mini Robot Road Race" for entertainment and competition at this year's OTRONICON. Utilizing the advanced research and technology developed at the University of Central Florida/ Institute for Simulation and Training (UCF/IST), we will create an exciting an unmanned adventure.

The mini robots represent a small scaled version of the unmanned systems RDECOM uses in its lab for various Human Robotic Interactive studies. They are also used to test the transfer of their software from simulated vehicle to a live platform. The race will be time or distanced based so that each player gets to compete not only with others but against themselves and their ability to control an unmanned ground system.
