Why would they try to sell Gauntlet or Joust? O_o; Why? They would make more money simply offering them for free via flash and selling ad space for all the sales that shit's gonna get.

This is a genius idea. The only better idea would be something that could play all arcade roms something like a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. We could even give it a cool short name like MAME or something.

This would have been a great idea about 10 years ago... by now, pretty much everyone interested in any of these games already has them.

Exactly,between multiple arcade compilation discs and XBLA offerings most everyone who wants any of these games bought them a long time ago.
