I assume that if, say you own a physical copy of the Handsome Collection on Xbox 1, you wouldn’t be able to get the deal? (mind you, I’m unlikely to do that anyway, since I own 1, 2 and the Pre-Sequel on Steam and 2 on Epic and I’m not interested in the Tales games)

Having first played Pong on an original arcade machine in a bus terminal in 1975, this sounds like it could be lots of fun.

Maybe Pong 2: The Pongening :)

As opposed to the several hundred they started making backward-compatible some years ago? MS has a decent track record in that field...sure wish Sony would.

Lessee...I have a Sears Video Arcade Heavy-Sixer, an Atari 2600 Vader and an Atari 7800. The Vader and 7800 are both in good working order. I also have at least 100 carts for the 2600 and 20 carts for the 7800, as well as a CRT to play them on.

Somehow reminds me of a 1999 PC games, Nocturne. While people and critics generally seemed to love the game, the requirements were considered high for 1999:

I do still have my 360 hooked up (and for that matter, the OG Xbox) but the only game that I am concerned with playing occasionally is Afterburner Climax. Sadly that was excised from the storefront (and the PS3's storefront) around 2013...think it was a licensing issue involving Grumman.

Yep, it’s on Rare Replay which is frequently available digitally for $7.49. I have a physical copy from when I first got the XB1 but I had to buy a digital copy for Goldeneye.

Yeah, that makes sense. I wasn’t sure but I remembered a Wipeout game had come out for the Saturn back then.

“WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation when it launched back in 1995.”

You can already play the original version on Xbox One, so putting out another one would be unnecessary. 

Pig? Man, I haven’t heard that term used since I was a teenager in the 1970s :) Not knowing the specifics except what I read in the article here, but it sounds like an unsafe situation all around, and if that was indeed the case, you have to have enough cops to deal with it. It’s when you don’t have ENOUGH cops on…

Heh, wild. Been years since I watched it though.

I don’t think Jeff Goldblum was in Death Wish 2. Surprisingly, Henny Youngman, “King of the One-Liners” was in it.

It’s pretty easy to install an SSD in your existing PC, and while not as cheap as a comparable HDD offers much better performance. If you don’t want to make an SSD your main drive it’s even easier.

I liked the original Death Wish back in the day, but I never watched any past DW2. Good music by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, but the movie itself....ewwwww. I mean, one scene in particular was so slimy and sleazy it made me want to run for the shower. After that I never watched another one.

Plus movies like Taxi Driver, where the popular image of Times Square was a grungy, porn and grindhouse-strewn dump. To be honest, many cities that had these wonderous movie palaces from the 20s and 30s saw them bec0me dingy porn and grindhouses by the 70s. My current home town of Columbus OH had a ton of them back…

“The other levels get increasingly difficult as you make your way through a Regan-era depiction of a crime ridden New York City”

I’ve always preferred the 2D Zeldas (I do have several 3D Zeldas, but haven’t really gotten into them), and I used to own the Oracle games. Very happy to see these return.

Oh absolutely yes. I’ve played the original SF and that one looked and played like hot garbage. I was surprised that one wasn’t the worst in this list. And yes, now that you mention it, I wouldn’t mind a Broadway musical-themed fighting game.  Maybe Cats mixed in with West Side Story?
