Nice, especially at only 400 points :D

praise where praise is due - MS giving us tons and tons of Wolfenstein for 400 points! Well done! i surely hope this isn't some kind of E3 let the masses have their fun gesture, after all it was just last month we paid twice that for Arkanoid, which was maybe a fifth of the content.

Here's to hoping this price point sticks - the economy doesn't bode well for pricey downloads.

just downloaded Altered Beast...what a delight, playing that game with unlimited continues, finally finished it after 20 years! And glad MS got the message regarding the 800 point prices, seems at least for now we're back at 400 pointers. Will be getting Shinobi later.

Today's releases:

It's XBLA Wednesday and we've got six Sega Genesis classics for you. They're 400 MIcrosoft Points each, and are available in all Xbox Live countries.

Altered Beast (add to queue)

Comix Zone (add to queue)

LOVE the old coin-op games that are available... I just wish there were more of my favorites, like:

Major Havoc

Stargate

Crystal Castles

Sinistar

Donkey Kong

Space War

Star Castle

Vanguard

Space Duel

Black Widow

Q*Bert

I, Robot

Marble Madness

Berzerk

Qix

Is there any chance any more of these would be coming down the pike?

cowabunga dude!

Austin, you should keep in mind MS has largely walked away from the coin-op classic initiative, they seem to be waiting for publishers to come to them whereas in the past they were more aggressive getting the oldies. i wouldn't hold my breath, honestly, if they come, they come.

That would be because people complained for almost a year they wanted to see original titles instead of games they could run with an emulator for free elsewhere.

And I back them with that (Y) We don't need more coin-op classics.

I'd much rather buy and play a game at 800/1200 which lasts me for months which is completely new vs a game I already know like the back of my hand that I completed when I was 4 years old.

can't agree with your there bub, i'd like to be given a choice, have bought both a bunch of coin op classics and full price mainline titles on XBLA. they don't contradict each other. i don't bother with PC gaming anymore, it's not the same experience. the emulated stuff is a joke compared to playing it on the 360, five bucks isn't much for a couple hours of nostalgia.

Yeah ?5 for any standard footlong and a drink. (refills as well obv)

Doesn't bother me, I make up for all the difference with free emulation:pp

You might be interested in Ikaruga if you don't already have it. The full Dreamcast game for 400 points this week.

Yup, that's the one! But it's Munky Island, so it's MY island :p

Anyway I was checking the release list and there is quite a few coin-ops still coming out this year.

Monkey Island (as noted) - 800pts

TMNT - 1200pts

Marvel vs Capcom 2 - 1200pts

Samurai Shodown - TBA

Bust-A-Move Live - TBA

Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure - TBA

Bubble Bobble Neo - TBA

Crack Down - TBA

ESWAT: City Under Siege - TBA

The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match - TBA (not sure if this released last week or not alongside Worms 2?)

So still quite a few for you to play.

I have like 6000+ points just now, 1200 is saved for MvC2, 800 for CoD1 and South Park doesn't have a price yet. I don't know what else to buy :/

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
