      Classic Game Room HD is a new member of the Classic Game Room family. A more relaxed, subdued show reviewing classic video games from the past 30 years. "Just because the graphics are better doesn't mean the game is better" Galaga is one of the biggest classic video arcade games from the 1980's, and this version on the Atari 7800 Prosystem is one of the best. Is it better than Galaga on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade (XBLA)? Retro gaming at its finest. You shoot invaders from space as they swarm upon you and try to take yo' $#@! Blow them up with your dual space ships and send those aliens packing! Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD.Read more
