Game Room Pack 012 Includes Sunset Riders, Twinbee, Blades Of Steel, Pitfall 2 + MORE

[Rlan]

We do have a Game Room and XBLA topic, but I thought this update might be best shown a a new topic.

After numerous months with some pretty shoddy games, Microsoft's Game Room is getting a HUGE, awesome update with Pack 012.

Now what happens with Game Room is once a pack is released only a few of the games are available, and each week the rest game "released". Today's update included:

Arcade: Blades Of Steel, (Arcade version of the popular NES game) Trick Trap,

Atari 2600: Pitfall II ("best Atari 2600 Game ever" says Retrogamer Magazine)

Intellivision: Vectron

But people have looked into the pack and found what the other games are, which includes:

Arcade

Amidar
Detana Twinbee
Food Fight
MIA: Missing in Action (aka Rush'n Attack 2)
Pooyan
Sunset Riders (4-Player Beat'em up Cowboys)
Twinbee (Big shooter in Japan)

Atari 2600

Off The Wall
Thwocker
Warlords

Intellivision

Volleyball

Which is huge! Finally some great games, even if Krome is basically all but dead. Such a shame that they waited this long for these games to get released.

You can download Pack 012 here. Get hyped!

Sunset riders? :O

Have all releases been the set 240 msp (400 for cross platform ownership)? sunset riders for that price is godly.

Sunset...Riders?


Squeeeee!

 

[arab]

SUNSET RIDERS?

 

[The Shift]

Still nothing there I would pay for.

Give me Xain'd Sleena, Stryder, BombJack, Wardner etc

Actually it seems with the latest update the cross platform gameplay is now completely automatic -- no more 400MSP cost, everything is 240MSP.

 

[GitarooMan]

Sunset Riders and Twinbee!! Wow, may have to load it up for the first time in months.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I'll buy a Sunset Riders

oh wow that is awesome, time to buy some classics then.

Holy smokes. They might actually try to revive it. Put some visible effort in.

Just quickly - is this service on WP7 or landing there. I would probably pay for 'some' games if it was a 3 way PC>360>Omnia7.

 

[Plinko]

Will buy Sunset Riders. I've been hoping someone would re-release that one.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Holy shit, finally.

the Sunset Riders era of games was the main thing I wanted out of this service!

 

[Diablohead]

Wow it's a slog to download game room again along with 12 game packs, they really needed a better way of game management as I bet a lot of people don't download all the packs.

Twinbee is awesome also if you like shooters, buy it.

That's something they ALSO added in this latest update. I think there's some way to download multiple packs at a time. At least it was some weird tick-box method for downloading stuff.

 

[drizzle]

Holy Shit, Sunset Riders?

I highly doubt that to be true.

There's no online multiplay on GameRoom, right?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Holy shit! I'm in! Sunset Riders!? Twinbee!? BONER CITY!

 

[adelante]

SUNSET RIDERS?!?

Is it the Genesis version? Cos I've never played the arcade one and I don't know if it's any different

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Sunset Riders? Fuck yeah!

Do these have online co-op?

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Holy crap, Sunset Riders AND Twinbee?

I may actually have to download Game Room for this. I look forward to the Giant Bomb QL where Jeff breaks down in tears upon seeing two top quality titles on Game Room.

 

[discoalucard]

It would be the arcade one, and your mind will be blown because it's WAY better than the Genesis version. Different levels, better graphics, four player simultanous player, all around outstanding game.

Oh thank goodness. I might finally buy something.

... you know, Pooyan's a great place to start!

 

[Princess Skittles]

They should just rename this thing to Konami Game Room until they get another company on board.

The 2600/INTV releases are (mostly) useless.

 

[BGBW]

Wow am I out of the loop. This is the first time I've looked into these game room packs and my interest in a 360 has certainly perked. While the retail games haven't really grabbed my attention, an easy and legal way to play some old arcade games have. Funny that.

 

[McBradders]

Sunset Riders and Twinbee?!!!!

Shit just got real real real.

 

[adelante]

:O

Played the Genesis one tons of times with my younger brother and he's gonna go bonkers once I show him this. First time I ever cared about Game Room :O

 

[Suzzopher]

Game Room just got interesting.

 

[PopfulMail]

And suddenly I care about Game Room once again...

 

[adelante]

Wait, i just clicked that link...


THE PACK IS FREE?!?! What's the catch here???

Goddamnit I want to play some Sunset Riders NAOOOO :lol

 

[GitarooMan]

Wait, i just clicked that link...


THE PACK IS FREE?!?! What's the catch here??? :lol

The catch is you still have to pay for the games after you download the pack.

 

[adelante]

The catch is you still have to pay for the games after you download the pack.

Ah alright...good thing I have some spare points!

 

[faridmon]

Jeff Gerstman will be happy to say the least. Blades of Steel is the only I am very familiar with. Great stuff.

 

[shuri]

I really wish they would stop mixing together atari ports and arcade versions..

 

[Archurro]

I'd happily pay another 2.5-7.5 bucks for sunset riders with online Co-op, but this is pretty awesome. Still not sure if I'll buy it though.

 

[CitizenCope]

Not even joking here, where do I find my game room?
I'm also assuming destination arcade is gone but i'm probably wrong.
Too much shit to find.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Yay, more quick looks!

 

[BMX Bandit]

I've never used this stuff so can anyone fill me in: Sunset Riders...can I play it online with friends? Can you play it locally multiplayer? Thanks for any info

Go to the Game Marketplace and hit the Specialty Shop.

 

[Diablohead]

I still wish for the day sega release daytona USA on game room :lol

 

[futnownarcade]

Bury me with my money!

 

[Shig]

Just to confirm this wasn't mistake in the OP, it has both Twinbee and Detana Twinbee?

 

[Princess Skittles]

That is correct.. and delicious.

 

[LiK]

The home versions were different to the Arcade version.

 

[iconoclast]

HOLY SHIT

Good games on Game Room? This is a sign of the apocalypse.

 

[brain_stew]

Seriously?

About damn time.

Still hate the fact that they didn't optimise the PC client and it still has to use this "game pack" BS when there's absolutely no need for it on PC.

 

[ArjanN]

Best Game Room QL incoming???

Haha, yeah, this will blow their minds, week after week of slowly draining their life away, and then suddenly a bunch of awesome games, lol.

 

[see5harp]

Wow. That's kinda mindblowing that they finally are putting up arcade games.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

And suddenly I care about Game Room once again...

yeah I bought astrosmash (i think the 3rd game I ever played, behind Carnival, and Dungeons and Dragons) and I pretty much never loaded up game room again.
