Actually thats a pretty good idea. Unfortunately I guess unless Microsoft sees it as something they'd like I doubt its going to happen. DOOM has the popularity of a pop singer, whereas Duke3D is forgotten to all but us diehard fans. I mean compare the efforts of the community (ports, online browsers, addons, websites, forums) of DOOM to Duke3D and you'll see what I mean.

Although if Duke3D were only say $10 alongside Doom on the XBLA many people would give it a try. Thats the beauty thing about this arcade idea, its cheap and simple so impulse purchases could mean a decent profit.
