Not my cup of tea' but its good how XBLA is very diverse in the types of games it releases. And 400? that's pretty good : D

Gamers, ready your turbo controllers in 3,2,1...

It would be nice if there was a workaround for this.

Great game but too easy, as in I and many others I know can loop around it forever.

Get to a million and sack it.

Great version of a classic game. At 400 points these arcade classics are a steal IMO. I sure hope the guys at Sensible nail the version of Sensible Soccer on the 360. That would be pure heaven for most of us soccer fans. The gameplay in that game is worth more than most of todays soccer games combined.

For me, the classic XBLA ports are 80% of what I play. Keep 'em coming. In the meantime, I'll try for top 100 in Yie Ar Kung Fu.

Downloaded and will enjoy this every so often, would love an arcade stick for it though.

It's not an exact match to the arcade classic as it says..

For example during the long jump, the "arc" sound is no longer a tone, but instead kind of a "whoosh" through the air.

This game isn't that bad. Try the demo and you'll probably end up getting it.

The layout of the controller definitely holds this back a little, but the stick waggle thing works pretty well.

I'm showing my age... I remember when this came out in the arcade and we were all gathered around trying various methods of rapid tapping... combs, pencils, contortionist acts... what fun!

And... throw the javelin straight up... The bird is there! :-)

I remember when I used to play this game on the playstation, my fingers would ache hours on end lol.

Can't wait for Echo the Dolphin, used to play the game for hours and hours :)

Excellent, mutton bashing ahoy!

Though, given the MS press release for the XBLA games for August & September.

Where was Sensible World of Soccer? This release is surely the one (at least in the UK) we're all waiting for.
