Quick Look: Game Room for 11/24/10

I don't understand how Jeff could memorize Pitfall 2 yet hate Megaman 9.
 
Also Set Riders? The arcade version? That's awesome.

A fine showing for Game Room this week. Blades Of Steel was hilarious, Pitfall II was a revelation, Trick Trap didn't seem to be bad at all, and featured a Giant Bomb legend as it's top player, and Vectron was at least interesting in its madness. That laundromat background was pretty bitchin', as well.

Agent Zach Morgan must be a pretty awesome Trick Trap player. 
 
And something decent from Game Room? This is quite a surprise.

I'm deeply in love with the Genesis/VOPM-esque synth bass in TrickTrap. So good.

That laundromat room is the most amazing thing ever.

Game room getting good ???

Labyrinth Runner south of the border?Mexican David Bowie is not pleased...

Game Room ... doesn't suck horribly this week?
 
I'm  feeling joy and disappointment at the same time ... happy thanksgiving?

Enjoying watching the variety of having the non-airplane broken female avatar roaming around on this, plus game room awesomeness that mikes up for some previous sucky weeks. 

ALWAYS BET ON GAME ROOM.
 
Also, I want an 80's 7-11 themed room.

R: 'Who's Rhonda?'
J: 'My niece.'
R: 'She disappeared...'
J: 'I collected her.'
 
Best exchange from this QL haha. Significantly more entertaining when the games actually seem pretty good. Congrats GameRoom.

2010's 1984 game of the year is...Pitfall 2.

I'm not sure, but it sadly appears that they've patched Broken Guy in this update.

There is hope

Sunset fucking Riders?!  WHAT?!  WHY IS IT NOT OUT

Gameplay aside, the Trick Trap music is awesome - GMotD worthy, even.

Microsoft does care! Hooray!

Was Pitfall 2 the 1st Metroidvania?

I bought Jackal, and two days later there's an update and some good games! 
 
I take full credit. ^_^

  Thank you Jeff.

Solid entries in Game Room.
 
Blades of Steel was a great hockey game and filled a niche for arcades usually held by air hokey tables.
 
Pitfall II was crazy and far ahead of it's time for the generation of consoles it came out on.  I played that game for weeks before beating it.
 
Yet another Konami arcade game I've never heard of.  Those dudes were at least diverse, plenty of odd games with different themes.
 
Vectron defines the Intellivision experience.

YES.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who immediately thought of Eegah! :) "

" I don't understand how Jeff could memorize Pitfall 2 yet hate Megaman 9.

Finally a couple of games I would actually buy.  Sunset Riders and Blades of Steel. 
 
Way to finally wake the fuck up Game Room. 
 
Side-note:  I have both of these on MAME so no, I'm not actually going to spend money on Game Room.  I"m just saying had Game Room been like this since day one, I may have actually jumped on board.

This week's Game Room was a Thanksgiving miracle.

Trick Trap's music is fucking awesome.

Fuck! i cannot wait for sunset riders, that game was awesome. Pitfall 2 seems interesting, never played it all those years ago and to be honest im surprised as how complicated it is.

How can Ryan continuously sound so negative. 
This week seem miles above anything previously seen in Game Room.

I have very fond memories playing pitfall 2 when i was really really young, I never realized it was released a year before i was born though. Have always loved the music in pitfall 2 and remember playing it a ton. 

Finding out Sunset Riders is coming to game room has made watching all these videos worth it.

Look out for waterrrr snaaaakes
 
FUCK

AgentZackMorgan is the best   Trick Trap player in the world. Thats fucking awesome.

Sunset Riders... wow. If they worked in online multiplayer... I will gladly pay for it. I will happily make it my first purchase.

"Shoot it all over me" - Jeff.

I feel like some random Game Room problem solved in the title update kept them from putting out all the games in this pack.  I mean, there's no point to destroy the system with Intellivision crap if they still have real games left to sell.  Compared to what we've seen the last couple months, this was a fucking miracle release of games.

9 "Real" Arcade games, YES, that means at least 9 more weeks of "Game Room"

Laughed at Ryan's sarcastic "oh fuck!". 

they keep sounding more and more depressed every game room quick look...

ON THE WING!

Holy balls! Pitfall 2 and Blades Of Steel. Two of my favorite games from my childhood. Is Game Room finally turning this shit around?

"Shoot it all over me!"

ryans laugh....lol

Wait, Trick Trap isn't a game about undercover vice cops?

Wow...  I'm actually going to buy some Game Room games.
 
Pitfall 2 is what I've been waiting for, and some of these upcoming Arcade games sound promising.  Though what's up with no ranked mode?  It has points

Anyone else notice the number 1 high scorer's gamertag on Trick trap -1771?
