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.
