What's the release date for missle command? Also what does FTW mean? :)

Supposedly today..Missle Command

FTW = For The Win!

[neoadorable]

mind you missile command is my pick for best coin op release yet. the classic version is almost, almost spot on, and the evolved one is simply amazing! note how they kinda made it politically-neutral with the missiles looking more like asteroids or meteors. guess the cold war connotation is no longer relevant.

too bad i won't get to play it again for a couple of weeks!

you jinxed me echo. and you too ayepecks.

:D Thanks, as for Missle Command I got it last night and I like it but it is just a little tough to get used to it. I never actually played it in the arcade due to the fact the I was born 8yrs after it was released and was never old enough to play it. I have played the flash version on the pc and it was fun and easier using the mouse. I will just have to spend more time with it.

PS: The evolved version seems to be harder the the classic version even on easy :)

[neoadorable]

strange, to me the evolved one seems a lot easier. heh heh born eight years after missile command came out...oh the young uns!

Yesterday, developer Codemasters confirmed with Pro-G that upcoming XBLA game Sensible Soccer will be releasing on August 29th, which is just a few weeks after the soccer FA Premiership season kicks off. Marketing genius! Not only did Codemasters confirm the release date, but they also mentioned that the Sensible World of Soccer 96-97 remake will cost 800 Microsoft points. Now only if we could learn to cut our grass into those beautiful diamond shapes.

Well, I hate soccer, but news is news.

Golden Axe and Sonic The Hedgehog released :)

Both cost 400 MSP

[TheFlusher]

Oh man, good reason to go out and buy more MS points.

[FreqFace]

I thought Sonic 2 was supposed to be on XBLA, not Sonic 1? Shame, since I preferred the second.

800 MSP seems a little steep but if the customising is as good as I've read and online play it should be worth it
