Old games are finally being taken seriously. Just because a title is a couple of years old, doesn't mean it isn't any good. According to MSNBC, the on-demand gaming business is gaining steam. The idea, brilliant to the core, is that old games are more appealing to a mainstream audience. Mainstream, in this case, means the 95% of people out there who don't play videogames — but who wouldn't mind giving it a try. The distribution systems are simple. Either you pay a subscription to play a bunch of old games as much as you want, or you pay a small fee for a small download. Xbox Live! will be offering its own version this summer, with classic arcade games like Defender and Dig Dug.
