Stadia Arcade Idea

So I had this idea last night. Just putting it out into the Ether. 

Stadia Classic Arcade. The chance to play classic games online with your friends.  Think Crayta, but the game choices are all classics. 

So much like the arcade 1up lineups they are putting out, but on Stadia to be played with friends.  Imagine hoping into the arcade with your friends online and playing 4 player X Men or TMNT. Or competing for high score in Burgertime or Galaga. 

Maybe it starts with a dozen games and each month new games could be added to it. 

At the same time keeping a high score database for classic gamer to compete to be the best.  You could even have competition weekends with prizes. 

It seems obvious, but maybe not that exciting. Maybe for us older folks it would be a good way to keep nostalgia and the future of gaming close together.

I'm loving Stadia for being able to play the newest AAA games on 4k. The old Arcades I could play via e.g. MAME, but that's only cool for a short flashback. I don't think many people will spend much time with old Arcades. 

 

But who knows, maybe thousands of players enjoying Bomberman atm...? :winking_face:

Hey there @Octopusinks, I love seeing community members get creative with their ideas! Given that this conversation is surrounding a feature request, I'll be moving this out to the public forum. I can't wait to see other Stadia members chime into the conversation!
