I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but something about this guy reminds me of Walter Day, and I don't think its merely the fact that they both represent retro games. His speech mannerisms and voice are kinda similar.

Awesome. Now Gametap needs to sell the license to Panzer Dragoon Saga to Microsoft and we're all set.

This is as close as two straight guys can have sex with each other without having sex with each other? 
 
Great vid. But rewind? Needs to be tagged in the stats, if someone cheated this way. Great for some new players though.

I'm actually really looking forward to this now. It'll be really interesting to see what type of games start coming out on this, whether they're just old arcade games or they start releasing newer stuff. Like Dreamcast games. Which would be nice.

It's been said if you use rewind your score will NOT go onto the leaderboard, and I guess not count towards challenges or achievements.

So... since they did an "everything" emulator does that mean we can expect awesome Dreamcast titles like Project Justice and Power Stone to show up? I don't like the rewind mechanic, but everything else looks super awesome.

Its naive to say it, but it would be cool if they could just release these for free. Some kind of free area of the XBL main menu where you can go and play old arcade, it'd be an amazing feature. But otherwise, I don't see why i'd spend my money/points on a few hours of nostalgia rather than say, shadow complex.

Despite his distracting shiny lips, that guy really knew how to sell me on Game Room without sounding too forced... he seemed genuinely pumped up about its release and he acted nicely too; we need more PR people like that.

This sounds/looks really awesome - until I remember that I have to pay for everything separately.  I just can't see myself buying those games - when I can get them all (even ones they haven't released) for free online.

@mythrol: Over on joystiq.com they had a screen capture of Sonic Adventure for Xbox 360 online Arcade and it was priced as free. So maybe that is one of the games coming out for it.

I'd be interested to know just what the scope of these emulations is.  Some arcade games overstay their welcome pretty fast.  You going to be able to fiddle with the difficulty and all that?

Out of all the exclusive Xbox games Microsoft is too stuborn to port over to PC, they add a serivice where you pay to play classic games. When you consider how easy emulation is on PC it seems pointless. Gamerscore whores will buy it up.
