    No game-specific achievements at all. You get three sets of medals per game, at gold/silver/bronze. These are for high score, survival (longest play) and total time playing the game. These medals add to your arcade's level, with enough medals you gain a level and certain levels give achievements - sort of an odd role-playing deal.

    Leo,
    To answer your question, yes: there are normal achievements.

    They require that you purchase enough games to earn the medals, however.

    To clarify, the games do NOT have achievements. The Game Room, however, does.

    It's a good concept but the prices are WAY too high. If the games were 100 points across the board then I can see it becoming pretty popular. 240 points is just too much for most of these games.
    Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.

    I bought 4 games because I've had 1000 points sitting in my account since October of last year - i figured what the hell....

    Bought Astrosmash, Yar's Revenge, Tempest, and Tutankham. I was happy to see Tutankham included in the first round of games, seeing as how it was one of my favorite arcade games as a kid. I used to play the hell out of it at my local Super X (now a CVS) Drug Store, while sitting there drinking my Bubble Gum Slush Puppy with about 20 squirts of syrup. I have now discovered I'm not as good at it, as I used to be.

    This game room concept has potential, as soon as they get the bugs out. I've gotten the loading freeze 3 times already, and couldn't connect to the server about 2 times.

    The interface sucks. Great idea though.
