Game Room on Xbox 360

[grolt]

Anyone play around in the Game Room yet? It's a free download and you can sample all the games with some free tokens before ever having to pay. There are some bugs, but thus far I think it's the best retro compilation I've seen in a long, long time. A pretty pitch perfect attention to detail, even letting you play around with the DIP switches on the arcade games as if it were the real thing. Too cool. You can even add interlacing lines to the games to really give it the retro look.

I've got Yars Revenge and Adventure right now, if anyone wants to do some Yars challenges, send them my way! (Gamertag: rhettoric)

Now, hopefully Microsoft keeps it up with this and starts to add in some other iconic arcade developers like Taito and, um, SEGA!!!!

Someone has finally worked out that people play MAME and there's money to be made by resurrecting old arcade ROMs rather than let people assume they're abandonware.

Between MAME on my PC and MAME on Dreamcast, I've got pretty much every arcade game I'd want to play covered. Barring Final Fight, which has a ridiculous bug that stops you from continuing.
