Game Room High Score Challenges
If you’re a fan of retro games you should really consider checking out Microsoft’s new Game Room service. Available for both Xbox 360 and Windows, it’s a virtual arcade that not only allows you to collect classic games, but also lets you compete against friends in a friendly online environment.
A virtual arcade you can fill with all your favourite games
Anyway, for the last couple of weeks we’ve been running our own challenges on the Retro Gamer forum and we’d love it if you could join us. All you need to do is add your gamertag to our main Game Room list and look out for whatever game we’re currently playing. Then it’s just a case of getting the highest score you can and posting it for everyone to see. The winner will get heaps of deserved praise bestowed on them, the loser will be simply laughed at.
You can get more information by visiting http://www.retrogamer.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=18 We’ll see you all online

Isn’t this little more than a money for old rope exercise though? Paying money for 25 year old games that can be played online for free just seems a bit of a waste to me, as much as I’d love to support the concept, even the games are mostly terrible.
Also, giving an achievement just for turning on the game is a bit mean for people who like to complete their achievement lists, as it means you have to buy games to get further with it.
