The Games on Here Suck!
All of the games on here suck so far. (Though I might play Centipede.) I guess that's because Microsoft is trying to bring back games that haven't already been ported to popular platforms?
While I do agree that alot of games are better in the rose-tinted glasses of memories gone by, I think that nostalgia will keep alot of these alive for me :)
Most old school arcade games are about skill, reflexes, and the high score. Anyone raised on games with a "story" and fancy graphics are probably not going be able to handle them, and not like them. They're like hardcore minigames. And today's "hardcore" gamers aren't about minigames.

"I'd already figured that out the first time I heard of Game Room. I've never seen the appeal of crappy arcade games from the 80s.
I really like Yar's Revenge, but thats the only title that I would really be interested in playing again.
Yeah, nothing beats Combat multiplayer... and now it's FUCKING ONLINE!!! HOW FUCKING INSANE IS THAT?!!?!?!!!?!?!?!??!
Wait is this the avatar game room your talking about??? Is that done yet??? I haven't seen it on xbox live yet....
Im 30 and these games are very dated for me. No nostalgia here. I think my father played these games. Are all the people that are saying these games are amazing like 40 or older?
And even the ones I haven't played, and have no nostalgia for I can still enjoy. There's something to be said about simpler games. Sure you can't play them for like 3-10 hour marathon sessions, but they're not really made for that. Pop in a couple quarters, play for 5-10 minutes, and move on to the next game.
lol, I grew up playing all these games (my first console was an atari) and even I don't want to play this old shit, lol, I'm not saying that other folks don't genuinely like reliving these old games, but not me, I've got too many good games I need to finish.
