Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion

It was hard and fun. The music tripped me out, especially on the last stage

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion

Exactly!!!! So tired of these bullcrap arcade games....too many old azz atari games.

Where are the real arcade games, Simpsons, TMNT, X-Men, Killer Instinct, Cadillac and Dinosaurs, Mortal Kombat Series, and so on....

The Xbox 360 is too powerful, to keep uploading these crappy atari games. It gets boring quick...

I think the love for XBLA games are based on the level of nostalgia they bring. I remember the time period when most of those you mention came out...late 80's early 90's. I doubt its a coincidence...that prolly represents a time in your life when you were really into arcade or 16-bit games.

For the older guys, Pac Man, Galaga, etc represent the same thing. None of them are mindblowing game experiences, but the sights and sounds take us back in time. They do for me anyway. I'm really looking forward to Dig Dug...

for the older guys...lol...I was 18 when Killer Instinct came out, and I'm 30 now, I still have my atari 2600 and 7800 with dig dug and pac man and ms. pac man on NES..Also I own galaga, still have the cartridges in my closet. I'm not a young buck. I just know whats good. And these game are played out and too simple....

When you think arcade, you think Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Sega Rally, Star Wars Racer, Killer Instinct, Time Crisis, X-Men, and so forth.............

I use to play pacman in the pizza places when i was in high school, on the machines where you sit down at a table with the screens under the glass...

Konami needs to bring out the big guns like TMNT: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time for Co-op. Could you imagine how awesome that would be over Xbox Live? Contra is a good first step too.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion

I was going to buy a pacman table off of ebay once and use it as my coffee table, never pull the trigger. I wished I did then I can complete my arcade room with Street Fighter and Golden Tee.

Must have been some dentist office

A busty dental assistant would have been the icing on the cake.
