An idea for live gaming or high score competitions on AA

An idea for live gaming or high score competitions on AA (via live video/audio streaming)

 

Seeming as though most people here are into gaming and have a mobile phone/smart phone or web cams or use an emulator (since most emulators are capable of recording emulator usage)

 

One idea that came to me is for each hardware section (Atari games machines, computers and non-Atari) to have a section inviting people to do live gaming playing and also live gaming competitions or high score competitions (via live video/audio streaming)

 

How that would work is that the first person posting, posts up a live stream of them playing some game and at the end of the post there is the option to invite other people to join in (if they have the same game) and do dual (or more) live gaming playing streaming, game competitions or high score contests

 

I am sure that Atariage has the technology to make this possible for head to head live streaming of people playing their games (either on pucka hardware or via emulation) and have the streaming data live on that particular section or thread

 

If it works for live gaming playing or competitions, it could be extended to other areas like hardware and software trouble shooting, programming issues, hardware repairs and upgrades and so on

 

How the latter will work is that the person making the first post, post’s up a video/audio clip of the post and at the end of the post there is the option to invite others to partake in the dual (or more) streaming where the invited person(s) then does a live reply or response (via video/audio streaming) to the original persons video/audio post
