A close friend of mine works at a mid-sized busy drafting company which 
allows these sorts of things under similar conditions.  However, further 
than that, during lunch or after work etc, having quite high end 
machines, the employees (joined by a few of the honches I'm told) are 
allowed to play networked shoot-em-up games etc around the office.  
Morale is quite high at this place I'm told.

Cheers
