Xbox Game Room

[Eman]

"You can buy a game for between 240-400 Microsoft Points, or if you
really want that old arcade feeling, you can pay 40 Microsoft Points
and play the game once, like it was 1985 and you'd just dropped a
quarter."

Game Room is going to provide access to over a thousand of "classic"
games. Are there even 100 classics even in existence? That aren't
already on XBLA in some form? Or part of the numerous Classic
Compilations. Which some may have already bought?

And the option of charging per play, I'm guessing that there won't be
free demos.

40 points = .50

Yeah, that's not 1985. :)

Is there a trackball for the XBox?

SIGH.
I was hoping for pictures of a cool game room you created in your
home!
I dig seeing other peeps gaming rigs.

I've seen some pretty sweet MAME cabinets.

I had MAME installed on my old modded XBox, but it isn't the same with a
controller as opposed to those big-ass sticks that you can abuse.

I have a cabinet (actually an old Pengo cab) that I have fixed up
for arcade games. I want to add more decorations to it and re-do
the controls. Right now I have it set up with a trackball and twin
sticks for Robotron and Smash TV as well as side buttons for pinball
games, but I want to add a spinner eventually and another side button
to each side as well as a button on the front panel for simulating
jarring the pinball table. Ah, when I get the time...It's playable
now, but I can't really call it finished.

So it's even MORE expensive than the arcades I hung out in 1985 ;)
