[QUOTE="Blkthorne, post: 289536, member: 3112"] I can remember the ill fated Game Room for the Xbox 360, the Microsoft rep was saying in an interview that they would be getting anything and everything for the app, with all the arcade giants all lining up to be a part of this great deal. They had this small indie company to do the emulation called Krome and they already had Atari(arcade/2600), Konami(arcade), Intellivision and Activision(2600) signed up. I think they charged $2-3 for individual games, so you had arcade games mixed in with 2600/Intellivision games which led to a lot of complaints in the quality of the app. Microsoft pretty much abandoned it and Krome was left with holding the bag and trying to fix lots and lots of bugs. Hamster, which owns the rights to games like Crazy Climber, Moon Patrol and Terra Cresta ie and currently sell their games on the PS4 for around $8 a piece, just laughed about how people wanted them to sell games for $2-3 on Game Room when they easily get people to pay their price. You even see what people are willing to pay for older games with the release of the Arcade 1up([url]https://arcade1up.com/[/url]) cabinets @ $75-400 with 2-4 games per cab with one 6-1 and 12-1 deluxe units, or the New Wave Toys([url]https://newwavetoys.com/[/url]) miniature cabs @ $100-160. Back when I owned my PS/PS2 and Xbox I always loved getting the various compilation games with Midway/Williams, Namco, Konami, Taito, and Capcom collections with 20-30 games at roughly $1 a game on them but I guess they didn't sell very well cause you rarely see them anymore.
