Comment Feed for Channel 9 - A look at the Xbox Live Arcade line-up http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/on10/blogs/eetschowdown_317.jpg Channel 9 - A look at the Xbox Live Arcade line-up No doubt about it, Microsoft's Xbox live Arcade has been a smash hit: not only for Microsoft, but for gamers.  Who here hasn't spent hundreds of hours playing Frogger, while reminding yourself that you used to be so good when it was on the Atari.  How many of us have played Texas Hold 'em until the wee hours while dreaming about quiting your day job and joining the Poker circuit?  Don't get me started on Galaga and Uno either.  Well, after doing a bit of research it looks like there may be a few other games coming down the pike.  We have no release dates yet, but we do have titles.  Band of Bugs:  Strategy GameEets:  Chowdown:  Port of the PC gameLuxor 2:  Action PuzzlerPaperboy:  The classic from MidwayRoot Beer Tapper:  Keep your patrons happy en Mon, 13 Feb 2012 05:02:39 GMT Mon, 13 Feb 2012 05:02:39 GMT Rev9 Re: A look at the Xbox Live Arcade line-up Paperboy, FTW!!!1

If all of you reading this could port a classic game or build a new one for Xbox Live Arcade, what would it be?

Personally, I'd go for some Sonic the Hedgehog (the classic Sega stuff).  I believe that was announced at E3, but haven't seen anything about it.

However,  I've been addicted to Pac-Man, Defender, Galaga, Marble Blast, and Doom since they came out.  I've also really enjoyed Cloning Clyde, Assualt Heroes, and Totem Ball every now and again.  Indeed Xbox Live Arcade is great.

The current line-up looks okay with Paperboy really standing out.  I know Sonic is coming somewhere down the pipe, but I've already been playing that on my Wii virtual console.  Paperboy will probably grace the virtual console too.

What I really want to know is where all all the timeless Atari and Arcade titles?  I'm talking about Yar's Revenge and Cubit here!  That, and could you imagine a new Tron arcade game?  That is the future of Xbox Live Arcade!

I want to see more classic Atari Titles.  I'm talking about Yar's Revenge and Cubit!  I wouldn't mind a few updated Commodore 64 games either like Dragon's Lair and Zaxxon.

What I think would totally own is a new Tron game designed from the ground up for Xbox live Arcade.  That would be totally sweet.  End of line.

If I made an Atari 2600 list, I'd certainly put Pitfall at #1.

2. Pole Position.

3. Space Invaders

4. Yar's Revenge

 

There are a lot of other classic games I could mention, but surprisingly, I think a lot of them are going to be re-released through the Wii's Virtual Console =)

Pitfall is just screaming for Xbox Live Arcade!  It needs to be delux like Time Pilot.  The original unaltered game and a snazzy HD makeover version -  instant arcade classic!

Good call, my goddess.
