moycon Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Supposedly last October they were supposed to have a Konami Game Room bundle of 15 games for 1200 points. For whatever reason this never panned out. Kind of sucks because that would have been an incredible deal and gotten some buzz for Game Room. I wish they had been offering bundles from day one. I've already bought several Konami games, so at this point if I buy a 15 game bundle, I'll probably already have 5 or 6 of them. Lame.

Atariboy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Still no Food Fight today. Bummer. Last night I got home from work and fired up Game Room at about 12:15am. They had pack 13 available for download, so I tried to download it. It ended up disappearing from my downloads and still isn't available. Anybody have enough time to download pack 13 and see what's in it? Wednesday's games were Pooyan, TwinBee, and Thwocker. Still 5 games left, so I wouldn't be surprised to see this update stretched across another two weeks. I imagine we'll get Food Fight/Warlords/Volleyball during one of the weeks, and the two Konami coinops during the other week.

Spoon Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Food Fight today! Plays very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The Pack 13 thing hit me and I was also over on GameFAQs and noticed people at the Game Room board there talking about it. Probably some garbage that got uploaded by mistake. Hopefully it is a sign that there will be at least one more pack coming our way. I might have to get on and check out Food Fight, though I'm really only looking forward to Sunset Riders which I might actually buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I was wrong, I figured Food Fight would come out with just the 2600 and Intellivision game. But Missing in Action also made it out along with them That just apparantly leaves Sunset Riders for next week. Wonder if that signifys that they're finished? I sure hope if Krome goes under that Microsoft keeps this going and contracts with another developer like Digital Eclipse. Lots of potential here if it got more support to continue adding consoles and attracting other developers (We've gotten much of Konami's 1980's coinop library, imagine Game Room's lineup if several other popular companies similarly supported this). With more support and adjusted pricing (This thing really needs bundles with discounted pricing), this could be a really nice service someday.

Major Havoc 2049 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Cool, I'll pick-up Pitfall II and Food Fight the next time I fire up Game Room. I haven't played in Game Room in several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why this keeps happening. Usually the packs are 2 weeks worth of games. So if you know a game is supposed to be released in a certain pack and it's not there, check back the next week. Food Fight is now available. Have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Fight is now available. Have at it. Well, it's not that I'm expecting to see a game in Pack 13 (as an example) and I don't see it even though I know that I've already download Pack 13. It's that I see a game but instead of the game's picture it's a downward pointing arrow, and if I click on it I'll be told to download Pack 13. Huh?? I've already downloaded Pack 13!! However despite this, I really do like Game Room (despite the pricing). I don't do the console games on it, but I like being able to get the Arcade games/cabinets.

davepesc Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The new game pack today includes the famous Venitian Blinds demo from Activision. Now, this is a great piece of Atari history, but why charge full price for an unplayable joke demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did on my PC but only when after I installed it, I havent gone back to it on the 360 in a while. What sucks with the PC version is there is absolutely no form of joystick support. Argh!

Spoon Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm not sure what Microsoft has up their sleeve, but they're planning on bringing Game Room to Windows Phone 7. You'd think they'd have a plan B if they're going to continue promoting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd have a plan B if they're going to continue promoting it. Well maybe that is encouraging news. I wouldn't mind seeing some new content for the game room. Although truth be told I haven't used it as much as I would have liked. I think I bought like 10 games, I fired it up last week, but it was the first time in a long time.

Atariboy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Krome is still around in limited capacity, they just haven't worked on Game Room for quite sometime it appears. I really hope Microsoft hasn't given up on this. There were flaws and quite a bit that wasn't done well, but it seemed to have a lot of potential. They should try to get a company like Code Mystics to take over the reigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm hoping that it's to soon to call this one yet. News that it's coming to WP7 is good, though it might be more helpful for the Game Room itself if it was coming to Android! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draikar Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I seen this just today, hoped it would be like a big arcade room that I could walk around in like that PS3 Home game thing. Was disappointed, controls don't seem to work for me all that well. I will keep the game and give it another try latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrocko Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Anybody heard anything more on the Game Room? No updates are starting to concern me. I hope MS hasn't given up on it. I'd like to see them allow indie games and other arcade games already purchased added to it. I hope they will keep up with it. I like the idea of building my own arcade. Well I guess time will tell.
