TRON's Space Paranoids Finally!

Arcade machines has always been one of my dearest passions. If you watch the Flynt video below for the new TRON movie, you must have notice the real arcade machine version of 'Space Paranoids' which any true arcade gamer of the 80's should already know was an arcade game developed by a hacker named Flynn in the original TRON movie.

Microsoft Game Room


If you haven't heard about it yet, here's something interesting, Microsoft has announced their new Xbox Game Room service at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES); coming soon to both Xbox 360 and PCs this spring.
Looks nice, a vitual 80's-style video arcade and you have an idea of what this is. Using Xbox avatars and a giant room full of cyber arcade cabinets, you can play a number of classic video arcade games in their original form, as MAME would!The fun part would be to challenge your friends, play them on the same cabinet online and revive some old arcade rivalries. You can also design your own game room and place the arcade games you've purchased. I wonder if Xbox 360 users will be able to play with PC users. Looks promising!
