$5 BARGAIN
its games like this that made me the drunkdaddy i am today. frustratingly addictive! when i was a boy, life was so wonderful.... err   wait thats a supertramp song. all my money went to arcade. think about it $0.25 a game. in 1979 $5 was worth a lot more money and well thats only 20 games. Beer [B]

I can't ague with the price, I just don't get how they missed putting in the sound effects from the original game. How is the Thump-Thump Thump-Thump background sound missing? What would it take, 30 minutes of coding? Inexcusable...

You should've just found a copy of Atari Anniversary for the Xbox as it has this game and missle command and many MANY others like Lunar Lander etc. for 9.99....just a thought ! Its backward compatible with the 360.

While it is a great deal, you must remember that as others have stated, there are game stores around the world where you can find twenty atari games on a disc that play perfectly as they should for around 10 to 20 dollars. So for xbox live arcade its a bargain, but in the long run its not the best deal.

Re: $5 BARGAIN

what i was getting at was, when i went to an arcade as a child how long do u think 20 games in asteroids would last? now i can drink beer n play till my fingers fall off all for the low price of $5.

 i had most arcade compilations, atari, namco1 2 3, williams and others. but THEY dont have ach. OR leaderboard were you can show ur friends how much they suck. never played any game online until XBL in april 07 and i'm addicted.

my biggst complaint is the controller and button set-up. EVERY GAME should let u pick any button for anything u want, and have inverted choice.
