Games you would like to see on XBL or VC

[flash9286]

Personally, I would like to see Orge Battle 64:Person of Lordly Caliber and Final Fantasy Tactics.

I'd very much like to see some of the old games I played on my NES back in the days. Turtles II(IIRC the numbering) for example. I had great fun with it. Several of those games are already there though, like Baloon fight, some Mario games and such.

I have fond memories of playing TMNT too. TMNT is on XBL, haven't got around to playing it yet , I don't know how much I would enjoy it though.

TMNT1 is on VC, but that game is rubbish compared to the later games unfortunately.

Dont laugh, but what is VC you folks speak of?

Oh and Nikolai

I loved Baloon Fight.

That game was insanely hard, but before II came out, I remember spending a lot of time playing.

My advice if you want to play old games is emulation. A few squids on a controller (or stick for arcade games) for your PC and you can play pretty much any game released in the arcade or on old platforms up to Gamecube/PS2, where it starts to get patchy.

Beats paying over the odds for old games on XBL or VC. The only games I've bought on XBL are Geometry Wars (only 400 points and an innovative game), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, an all time classic I just wanted to play again, and Streetfighter 2:HF, for the multiplayer.

Console Classix is a free emulation service (free for some, anyway), for those of you like me who prefer to legally play things... free for Atari and NES and IIRC one other system, then small monthly fee for SNES/PS1.

If you actually own the game on SNES or whatever, you arguably can play it legally still at that point; it has not been tested in court, as far as I know, and probably varies by country, but is likely legal. (However, specific details may not be shared on this site, since it is still a gray area.)

I'm going to check CC out. I don't see how this program is legal though.
