    Re: Game Room (360/PC)

    On the Major Nelson podcast, they said they are still in talks with companies about getting more games on the service. Also they mentioned that companies are still making money off of the mega popular old school arcade games and probably won't allow them to use it for this service. They said those type of games would probably come out via the XBLA Arcade Title (more dinero for that company).

      I could go for some kung fu, rampart, and those old sprint games/offroad or whatever they were called and international karate. They don't just need better games, but also newer ones. Just because it's 'retro' arcade doesn't mean it has to be all early 80s games.

        More titles set to release next month.
        Microsoft says launch lineup for Xbox 360 and PC's virtual arcade service will have to tide rabid retro fans over until late April.


        Last week, Microsoft launched its Game Room virtual arcade on Xbox Live and PCs with a catalog of 31 games. The company has said it has 1,000 vintage titles in the pipeline for Game Room, but it will be a few weeks before Microsoft opens the spigot.

        A member of Microsoft's gaming product team has posted on the Xbox forums that the company won't be releasing new Game Room titles until late April. However, once Microsoft begins adding new games to the service, the representative said it will bring "new" retro selections to the Game Room on a weekly basis.

        Microsoft has not revealed which games will be introduced to the Game Room once it begins adding to the catalog, but it is accepting requests. Gamers who want to ask for a specific title can weigh in on the "official" requests thread, while another thread has been designated for more general Game Room suggestions.

          This thread never really took off, but for the people who play this, it looks like we're getting some classics at the end of the month. Double Dragon, Galaxian, Clash of the Tians, and Asteroids.

            Clash of the Titans is the movie.

            Double Dragon is interesting, would make a lot of people happy since it's not on XBLA any longer due to publishing issues. It would be cool to show up in Game Room.

              I've been meaning to check this out since my wife loves Atari-era games.

                  Re: Game Room (360/PC)

                  Here's a video of Pitfall from back in February. I don't know why it wasn't included at launch. http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/5...=2cwms14oxn9yo

                  Also, here's a video of someone playing Scramble with the original cabinet design, not the generic ones we got with all the Konami games. Looks like they had a deal in place and something went wrong right before launch. I read somewhere that Stern owned the rights to the game art. So maybe eventually we'll get these cabinet designs back.

                    It's in the GoD section, and the game packs are in the game add-on section.

                                My Dad has this game for his intellevison? I remember seeing the game, the case, and the console when I was around 8 years old. I'm 17 almost 18 now, man how time flies by.

                                I remember him showing it to me, it looks like so much fun.
