Game Room was a social gaming service for the Xbox 360 video game system, Microsoft Windows PCs, and Windows Phone 7. Launched on March 24, 2010, Game Room let players download classic video games and compete against each other for high scores.
Players on both Xbox 360 and Windows PCs could access Game Room through their respective versions of Microsoft's Live online services (Xbox Live and Games for Windows – Live). The servers shut down on October 31, 2017.
The Game Room front d can be downloaded at no charge from Microsoft's Marketplace online storefront. Wh launched, players are prested with a three-story virtual video arcade, each story containing four separate rooms. These rooms may be decorated however the player wishes, using the included themes and set pieces. The player can fill the rooms with virtual game cabinets that are used to play arcade and console games downloaded through the service, with each room holding a maximum of eight cabinets.

Games for Game Room are made available through downloadable game packs. While the packs are free to download, individual games must be purchased in order to be played fully.
Players may play each game in the pack once without charge, limited to t minutes of game time. Games are purchased on a game-by-game basis, which allows unlimited play of the game.
Previously, this was limited to Xbox 360 or Games for Windows, but a late update removed this distinction, defaulting the game purchases to the previous "Play Anywhere" model (a multiplatform spding model that would be expanded years later for Xbox One and Windows 10 as Xbox Play Anywhere).
Arcade Video Game
Games in Game Room are launched by selecting them while players browse through their arcade. Each game offers a "classic mode", where one can set a number of gameplay options, depdt on the game's format. Arcade games have DIP switches that may be changed in order to increase difficulty or offer additional lives to the player, while console games have their original gameplay variations. Both are accessible using Game Room's on-scre interfaces.
Also, some games can be played in a special "ranked mode, " which allows scores to be posted to online leaderboards while limiting gameplay options to a single variation common to all players, as well as disallowing several Game Room options, seemingly to prevt falsifying rankings or other forms of cheating.
While browsing their arcades, players see avatars of themselves and their online frids wandering around and playing the games; Xbox 360 players see their console avatars, while PC players see geric avatars instead. Similarly, players may visit the arcades of their online frids as well as play the games found there. If a frid's arcade has a game that the player does not own, the player may purchase plays or may use their in-game toks. However, the player may play copies of a game they already own for free. Players may also challge their frids at various games in both score-based and skill-based contests.

During gameplay, players win medals based on their score or how long they have played the game (both for that individual play and all-time on that game). Medals are offered in gold, silver and bronze, with each being worth a certain number of points. As players earn medals, they can advance in levels, which will unlock new themes and set pieces to be used in their arcades. Like other LIVE titles, players also earn achievemts based on their gameplay.
The initial game pack releases for Game Room were a mix of arcade, Intellivision, and Atari 2600 games. Other arcade machines were also to be covered, with Microsoft promising at least 1000 virtual arcade cabinets over the subsequt three years.
Despite Microsoft's promise, there have not be any new games or other contt since Game Pack 13 was released on December 22, 2010. Initially, Microsoft announced plans to release game packs weekly, starting on April 28, 2010,

Gameplay is primarily split betwe exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. Puzzles are primarily based in experimtation and learning the nature of the many machines in the vironmt, such as repairing a complex transit system. For combat, the game prests various biomechanical weapons that all attach to a modular base: to utilize a specific weapon, the player character must remove the currt weapon from the base and replace it with another. The game features four weapons: A melee weapon similar to a captive bolt pistol, which can also be used to power machinery at specific points; a pistol-like weapon, which can be used for accurate low-powered shots; a shotgun-like weapon, which has high damage at close range, but a low ammo capacity; and an implosive grade launcher, mostly used for vironmtal destruction in the context of puzzles. Ammunition and health is deposited from limited-use storage stations. Health does not replish on death, and can be drained via the vironmt or scripted evts.

Ebb Software is a Serbian game developmt studio founded in 2013. The developers claim to have designed the game around the idea of "being thrown into the world", and as such, very little context is giv about the game's setting. They also explained that they want the unsettling vironmt to be a character itself.
The game director wanted to study the "Space Jockey" from the film Ali, the pilot of the crashed spaceship on planet LV-426.
