XBLA gets Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest

Trio of retro titles cleared for arrival on the Xbox 360 download service - bring on the particle effects!

Three new retro titles heading to Xbox Live Arcade have emerged this morning thanks to the very useful ESRB website which has cleared them for arrival on Microsoft's box.

Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest are all listed for the download service, the first being exciting because we can't wait to see what kind of particle effects can be shoe-horned in, the second because we were still hammering it in San Francisco bar at GDC and the third... well, is Tempest.

Obviously there's no word on pricing or release dates yet, but will let you know as soon as we get any concrete details.

Asteroids... AND Tempest? AND Missile Command?
Nice.

ENOUGHT WITH THESE B.S. ARCADE TITLES, GIVES US SOME REAL ARCADE TITLES. THESE GAMES ARENT GOOD ENOUGH FOR 400 AND 800 MS POINTS :/

LoydX-mas6880d ago

But these games are classics. I know I spent more than my fare share of MS points worth of quarters back in the day.

Man I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. I played the hell out of all three when I was a kid and I'm very much looking forward to these, particularly missile command. Just out of curiosity, which games would you like to see come out for XBLA? Cheers!

People talks like XBLA is like the holy grail for the online gaming service, but seriously look at this. It just like any other PSN and Nintendo VC services. Is this what you xbot really proud at?? Get PS3 or Wii, that's another world out there you haven't tasted yet.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM9d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum9d ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot9d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.
