Old-school games on Xbox Live
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
The Xbox 360 is the most advanced video game console on the market right now. But apparently, high-def graphics and stereo surround sound aren't enough for everyone.
Microsoft recently began a promotion to showcase a "new" retro game each Wednesday on its Xbox Live Arcade casual games service. A subscription to Xbox Live, the company's online service, is required to download and play.
I checked out several titles available such as the recently added "Frogger," as well as a few classics that have been available on Xbox Live Arcade for a while now like "Robotron: 2084" and "Joust." For the most part, these arcade games capture the look, sound and feel of the originals, sans a quarter slot.
