The classics are about to get spitshined.

Turner Broadcasting is going to start a subscription service that allows people to play like 1,000 different games from various publishers - and they mention arcades, consoles, *and* PC. Games-on-demand, they call it. "Original games in their original formats", they say. Sounds to me like TBS has discovered the wonderful world of emulation.
My thoughts exactly. If they can perfect a Netflix-type model to make money on old games, it would be huge. Kind of like when Hollywood realized people wanted to have the classics on VHS. Back then, Turner wanted to colorize the black and white films for the "modern" audience. Hopefully, they'll keep their mitts of Pac-Man. We like him yellow.
