   That might be true of the hardcore. But if the Xbox Live marketplace is   
   any indicator, the general public is perfectly willing to hand over   
   nickels and dimes to play old arcade hits if they can compare high scores   
   with the rest of the world. You can get anybody to give you money if they   
   feel like they're getting something new. The recent Pac Man world   
   tournament is only the tip of that particular marketing iceberg.
