Fire up the Vitrual Arcade — Get Your Virtual Quarters Out

Okay so yes you have to spend like $40 bucks to get $5 back but this whole new virtual arcade may just be a good way to get a lot of casual gamers on board using Xbox live and change up the game a little bit from the usual frag matches of MW2. This is the kind of move that targets the gamers who grew up with these games who can relive the glory of shooting asteroids and floating polygons. For the new gang of gamers it’s a chance for them to think back and say — “This was a game?”

Updates will be continuously posted and uber promoted on XBL throughout the month.

Flashback — The Atari Mindlink

he idea behind the Mind Link was that the movements would be read by infrared sensors attached to your head and transferred as movement in the game. Early tests proved that the device, which looked like some kind of weird headband was causing headaches as players moved their eyebrows to try and control the game. They even developed two games for it — Bionic Breakthrough and Mind Maze.
