Is it free?

400 points for full game. Trail is available though. I purchased it because it was cheep!

Seems pretty good to me, might purchase it

I've been playing far too many Arcade games recently

I have been experiencing fond arcade memories recently.
In the last week I have had a blast on Captain Commando and Robocop.
I used to be able to complete Robocop on a single credit, get 100% in every shooting stage and now I suck at it.
That Arcade Cabinet is becoming more necessary by the day especially as the limited RAM in the Xbox makes it a bit juddery for such games.

hah, Robocop was ace! I loved the FPS bit where you had to shoot the mugger holding the woman

Is Captain Commando the same game as Commando?

As long as they don't bring out any sodding joystick/pad wagglers like Decathlon or Combat School then I'll be quite addicted to future arcade titles

God i'd love an XBLA remake of Athlete Kings or Track & Field with online and everything :cool:

finally settle all those sock/bottle top/pen lid/coin arguements and see what is the don of button bashing implements

DDave · 8 Feb 2006 at 17:54

Track & Field is comming to xbla as far is I know (read it somewhere).

Sagalout · 8 Feb 2006 at 17:59

hah, I'm not convinced the 360 pad, as good as it is, will cope with track and field! They dont make them like they used to!

Kainz · 8 Feb 2006 at 18:04

Good way for MS to make money though, selling tons of controllers which had broken from the joystick wagglers

Nismo · 8 Feb 2006 at 18:17

Not another Robotron clone, how many more of this sort of game are we going to get? :/

/goes off to buy...

No captain commando was a side scrolling 1-4 player batter anything that moves game.
My wife and I used to play it in the Chippy after the pub most Friday nights, fond memories of us both being skint, thin and better looking with much more interesting hair colours.
