then how would people get the games onto the Xbox ? (most Xbox's choke on CD-R's) or would the user have to chip their Xbox ? (MS would freak at that and cancel Cloanto's developer contract) Or would they use the ethernet connection to a PC ? (in which case, why not use the PC version of Amiga Forever)
--------------------------------------------------------
A good point. Actually, I had assumed that Amiga Forever shipped with some of the older classics. If I'm wrong in that assumption, it would not really be a worthwhile port.
However, if it sold okay, you could download additional games for a nominal fee via Xbox Live. Old developers might like this as they are always looking for a way to get some extra money from old properties. I think Sierra/Vivendi, UBISoft, LucasArts and EA would all allow premium content downloads.

Then you have to remember that the majority of Xbox owners were'nt born when amiga was about and would say the games look and sound {bleep}e

By all accounts, Intellivision Lives! and Midway Arcade Treasures were sucessful titles. It's surprising how many folks are nostalgic for this stuff.
