Could be neat. Depends on how much money they are wanting for the games.

I hope Star Raiders it the Atari 8bit computer version (and PLEASE give me more of those game titles.. like MULE!).

Looks like Microsoft goes after Wii's Virtual Console with this. Need to see what will be coming out. They are likely going emulator route here the way the Virtual Console is. I do want to see what they will have out... like I hope MULE.

Oh? They're charging you money for it? Not interested.

I might get one or two classic games. But the number of "smaller" games available on Xbox 360 is way too much already. Xbox Live Arcade and Indie games should be enough :D



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

star raiders never was an arcade game, so it'd have to be the A8/5200 or 2600 version and given how inconsequential it'd be for releasing the game I can't see any reason they would have the 2600 version over the computer version

also outlaw is a lightgun game,  seems kind of odd for the service

Is this an open world thing? I dont think it is.. i have no clue, but i dont think so. But even so, they're charging you money like its a real life arcade machine. So it's just as stupid as Home's waiting in line crap.. imo.

Where do you all know that their charging money each time to play the game? Link please. I don't see why they'd do that, i would buy the game, but it's retarded to put in points each time you play..gimme a break. This sounds like a bad rumor. Again i ask...link please?

"Interestingly, the Game Room will carry a two-tiered price structure. You can buy a game for between 240-400 Microsoft Points, or if you really want that old arcade feeling, you can pay 40 Microsoft Points and play the game once, like it was 1985 and you'd just dropped a quarter. Only, now it's two quarters."
