Well, it is what it is. Microsoft's Game Room is a robust vintage arcade emulator, and it lets you pay for one session or for the whole game. It's an attempt to bring back the fun of playing arcade games from 25+ years ago. Obviously it's nowhere as fun as building your own arcade cabinet, but it doesn't seem like a bad experience on its own. It's bigget problem is that the games aren't very compelling at all; among the dozens of games available, none interested me. Maybe I'm too young, but I seriously don't even remember most of these titles.
Word to the wise, if you even just start the game it gives you a 5G achievement point. What this means is that you'll never be able to remove this game from the "Played Games" section of your profile. So if you plan on trying it out, you better be ready to let the world know about it.
