Sounds like a great idea, the original arcade was a blast!

Hell yeah! In fact, the deluxe cabinet version of the original SEGA Rally with the moving seat is still a blast to play.

So they repackaged Revo as a XBLA title? Probably a more appropriate price and setting for such a shallow game but not something I would pay for a second time.

Hopefully Sega starts to release more of their older arcade IP's as online-enabled XBL Arcade games...Because then there's a chance more niche titles, such as "Derby Owner's Club", might finally see the light of day stateside.
