    Wow, old-school. Never played the original. Whenever I get a new hard drive, maybe I'll give the demo a download.

    I really hope this is good. I've been waiting for xbla Lode Runner for months. Lode Runner, Conan, Karateka, and Odyssey were the very first cornerstones of gaming for me, back in the Apple ][e days...


    Being 10 years old and making a lode runner level out of the letters of your name is so awesome.

    @the-hypnotoad:


    All should be done for XBLA. I can remember them all on my Atari 800XL (escept Odyssey.) Conan was amazing for it's time. All simple and fun (and shouldn't cost more than 400 MSPs)

    ANOTHER Arcade release with a 1200 price point. Sigh. Remember when 800 points was the standard?

    @Crazyreyn: But when you consider that Lode Runner is worth 120000 points, its quite the bargain.

    @Crazyreyn: I think MS is trying to shift the idea of Live Arcades from being a place one can by cheap games to a place one can by larger richer games however there are some things that make the attempt seem like a quick money grab but I'm not sure where to point my anger because the platform holder is not the one who sets the final price :(

    @okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): Actually, they are, at least in some cases. I believe that Jonathan Blow and the Behemoth both said that though they had input, Microsoft was the one with the final say on what their games were priced.


    That might only apply to XBLA games that Microsoft publishes, though.

    I'm saving my points for Banjo Tooie.


    Luckily, I already have 200 points so I only need to buy a 1000 card.

    @nekocomet: Opinions vary, but I think most people would see it as on par with the original. Personally I preferred Tooie over the first, but either way it's still fantastic.
