How late to THIS party am I? I was perusing the channel guide today & found a channel (#100 in the Twin Cities) that accesses several games, much like those little touch-screen kiosks you see at a bar. But you control them w/ your remote- wireless, cool! It let you try short demos, & you could subscribe for a monthly fee of $4.99.
There were subpar versions of Asteroids & Centipede, & tons of easy-to-play ripoffs of Tetris, Qix, Space Invaders, Lode Runner, Breakout/Arkanoid, etc. most of which the avg person could handle- nothing too deep or involving. There's easy card/gambling games, word games, "Buzztime" trivia (like NTN) plus a FREE daily sudoku puzzle I'll probably do every day now.
The bad news: subscription fees, most of these games can be found/played elsewhere for free, unbearable load times. Kinda neat to know they're available, though.
Just a heads-up for the interested...
