It might only be week #2, but the Xbox Live Arcade (XLA) is already a major hit in our home. Our kids love Arcade Wednesdays. Our middle son was excited about his achievement with today’s XLA new game, indie platformer designed specifically for the XLA: Cloning Clyde. He already has all 200 achievement points too.

He’s currently #7 in the world and I haven’t even played the game yet. This could get spendy if we end up buying two games every Wednesday (at least with the co-op titles).

While Cloning Clyde is a title designed specifically for XLA, I’m looking forward to the retro titles like Pac-Man. Some other retro titles I’d like to see on XLA someday (preference to those titles with asterisk):

- *Zaxxon
- *Star Castle
- *Klax
- *Scramble
- *Defender
- Xevious
- Pengo
- Moon Patrol
- Donkey Kong
- Dig Dug
- Track & Field
- Toobin’
- Missile Command
- Asteroids
- Asteroids Deluxe
- Centipede
- Elevator Action

My son says he is looking forward to Street Fighter Hyper Fighting and Galaga. What retro games would you like to see on XLA?

  2. […] - oh yeah, Scramble is on the way to Xbox Live Arcade. Now I’m looking for Star Castle for the trifecta of classic gaming nirvana (Pac-Man already available). Other classic game titles I’d like to see on XLA. Oh, and yes, we got Time Pilot. What’s your favorite Xbox Live Arcade title to date? - On Tuesday September 12, Apple is planning a media event with the catchphrase: “It’s showtime!” The rumor mill is working overtime churning out that it’s the long awaited movies to be available via iTunes at $9.99. Also the possibility — still very much an unconfirmed rumor — of an iTunes upgrade that would allow the movies to be shown. And another rumor, remember I said we’re in overtime, that Apple might release something that will connect your TV to iTunes. […]
