Derek takes a look at the forgotten retro failure that is the Xbox 360 Game Room. We discuss game mechanics, design, and the impact it had on the industry. If you’re a gamer of any kind, then you need to check out this video! We discuss the history, design, and impact of the Xbox 360 Game Room. If you’re a fan of console emulators, then you’ll love how badly Microsoft botched this piece of video game history. Nothing stops the game room quick look! In this video, we look at the game’s development history and talk about why it failed.
In this video, I take a look at Microsoft’s failed attempt to enter the retro console market with Game Room on the Xbox 360. No, their console app didn’t beat the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console or even Playstation 3’s Play Station Home, but it did have some cool features. I examine their Krome Studios developed virtual arcade service, which offered Atari games, Intellevision games, Konami arcade games and other classics on the Xbox 360. Overall, it’s an interesting video that covers a little-known part of Microsoft’s history.
