Recommended retro games on XBLA

Shinji Ikari

Here are some of the retro games on Xbox live Arcade I would recommend.

Sensible world of soccer

Yie ar kung fu; includes an option for updated graphics and sound

Golden Axe

Xevious

Samurai Shodown II; must have

Fatal Fury Special

Street Fighter II H.F.

Ikaruga

Ms Pacman

Streets of rage II

Trigger Hearts execelica

Sonic I&II

Assualt Heroes Iⅈalthough original games they are designed with the retro arcade style in mind...sort of reminds me of Super Swiv

Ultimate Mortal Kombat III

T.M.H.T. Arcade game

Double Dragon

I'd have to recommend against a few of those:

Trigger Heart Excelica: never liked this game.
Assault Heroes: A poor mans Geometry wars.
UMK3: Was always piss poor
TMNT: I bought it and was amazed at howbadly it had aged

Now to add to your list:

Robotron 2084: An absolute classic that will never get old.
Smash TV: Robotron on steroids.
Bionic Commando Rearmed: Remake of the classic NES game, still as good as ever
Megaman 9: Brand new but still old school. Possibly the best Megaman game yet.

I never saw much of a resemblance between these two games. Yes Smash T.V. is good.

I just think there's better dual stick games out there.

You should add Duke Nukem 3D to that list,
just played the trial game it's BRILLIANT!

Smash TV was completely brainless but brlliant.

the First LAN game I ever played was Duke Nukem two of the lads had P90s in the family and lived close enough to each other that we could carry one to the others house. It was only 2 at a time but it would keep 6 of us in his dining room for an entire weekend.

Got Pacman chapion edtion and it is amazing, highly recommeded. Also got Assualt Heros II. More of the same but thats no bad thing. I think I left out Castlevania,Doom,1942 Joint strike and SoulCalibur. I would highly recommend those.

Retr0gamer

How could I forget Castlevania. That should be no. 1 on everybodies list.

I got Defender recently. Very addictive but extremely difficult. I was thinking of getting Prince of Persia on XBLA...maybe Worms now thats is reduced to 400 points. Has anyone played these?(The XBLA versions.)

For that price, why are you even asking?

Stay away from Galaga Legions, it stinks, compared to the other great games on there.
Rez HD is a simple must have, no one should be without this, ahead of any other purchase on XBLA, it's simple genius, and, had it been released instead as a full price game, I'd have bought it, again!

Yeah but I feel I might enjoy Prince of persia more but thats 800.
So I don't know whether to get Prince of Persia,Kingdom for Keflings or Worms and robotron.
