Who'd like to see classic Windows and DOS games for Xbox Live Arcade? I think it'd be great. There are so many games I'd love to play again.

There's Wolfenstein, Doom and Duke Nukem 3D already. More would be cool though. Anyobody remember Commander Keen? that game was awesome.

DOSbox solves a lot of your retro DOS vibes BTW.

One problem is finding the games.

Ha, yes, yes I do. I used to play that and the Secret Agent game on our old computer when I was like 7. It's kinda crazy when I think of all of the games and electronics I have now as opposed to my only gaming system being an old MSDOS computer.

500 points for Gorillas/Nibbles and 800 for Chip's Challenge seems a bit steep.

I would like to see some of those old adventure games, but emulating them isn't even perfect on DOSbox. I'm guessing it would be tough to bring to XBL.

I don't think emulation would be to hard for them. They have the DOS source code and they have the Virtual PC. The only Thing that might be a problem is DOS4GW since it may require licensing but if that was an issue doom would not have been ported.
