Xbox Live Arcade: Cloning Clyde |
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?
Did this post make you go hmm?




[…] For the second week in a row our middle teenager has already made all achievements for the newest Xbox Live Wednesday game. Last week it was Cloning Clyde and the week before was the green, traffic-avoiding Frogger and this week’s it’s the spaceship of dreams: Galaga. […]

[…] - 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. […]
