Tried playing QFG on my PC at work but couldn't; adjust the stats sheet on my keyboard. All seemed to stream OK though.

Will test a bit more when I get home!

Also noticed that the app is called Pleasantville ... lol

Microsoft announces this in the same day Sony announces the end of PS Stars

My retro MechWarrior game pass edition

They better not dare to take (the rest of) these games out of Gog.

Do not enshitificate retro too.

I'd love them to put the mechwarrior games onto GOG in the first place

I tried this out last night and it works great.
I'm glad Microsoft/Activision was able to work out a deal with Atari/Antstream.

Just like with the the Xbox Live Arcade on the X360, lag isn't the issue. That hard part is getting the control down, as all these old 2600 games were designed around the 2600 joystick, not a dpad or analog thumb stick. On the X360, I found the best input device that I owned was the Capcom Fight pad.

I played H.E.R.O. last night and was able to get #3 on the leaderboards using just the standard Series X controller.

Looking forward to play the SNES and Saturn/PlayStation versions of MechWarrior and MechWarrior 2. I never did finish MechWarrior on the SNES and I need to right that wrong.

Make available their entire catalog instead of nickel and diming.

Nintendo's own first party games are either all available on NSO, or confirmed on the roadmap to be added. So...?????

Intrigued to check this out particularly the SNES and PSX collection

It also has The Little Mermaid (NES) which is GOATED and no shit spent many hours playing that game back in the day when the movie came out.

 

[RAIDEN1]

So understanding what it is, I thought these would be downloadable but looks like that isn't the case... and you are at the mercy of a stable network connection

 

[SenkiDala]

Again I see many people bitching about this "who would want to play this"... Well those are good games, mostly, so why not...

Good move from MS, I hope they do more of this soon.

I had some fun with this. Ideally they load more titles from other gens. Quicker loads to start titles too.

PS. any Xbox Gaffers add me to Xbox. Gamer tag is my username here.

It doesn't appear to be working. I can't launch a single game. I just get errors. This is on PC and XBX.

Edit: Nevermind, working now. No mouse support for paddle games, though? And A&B buttons for Decathlon instead of the stick? Yeesh.

The buttons can be remapped. I remapped the running to left and right on the dpad. Quickly moving my finger left and right across the dpad is almost as fast as running with the 2600 joystick.

 

[Knightime_X]

This is amazing, but the current collection is pure dogshit.
Will wait for much better games.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

Great! We're preserving valuable classics! Sign me up!
Oh, wait, they want me to literally sign up for a constant, paid-for subscription, and we can't own a single one of these games.
