The first Ante-Mortem sale is live now. Also, Shred Nebula, an old XBLA twin-stick space shooter is on sale for $2.49. Simple, almost antediluvian compared to some titles these days. Still fun though, but not delighting and is backwards compatible.

The XBLA is soon to be dissolved into the XBox Indies and Games on Demand on the XBoxOne, become an all-in-one online game service. Sounds like a good idea, but the XBLA tracking will keep going as best as I can until it's officially dead.

About time we get some new Arcade games. Frogger is cool, but where is Lumines and Small Arms? Those are the XBLA games I want.
Looks like my girlfriend is going to take over my Xbox 360 on August 9th... Pac-Man!
Has anyone ever heard of Cloning Clyde? I never have.
Has anyone ever heard of Cloning Clyde? I never have.
According to Joystiq, it is from the developer of Outpost Kaloki X. Other than that, I know nothing about it.
Looks pretty fun actually.

It'd be better if it was Stem-Cell Sally. Or Aborted Fetus Alan.
I like the idea of XBLA Wednesdays. I'm still amazed how slowly games trickle on to XBLA - how hard is it to port Paperboy? Or any of the classic arcade games under discussion? Yeah, Street Fighter 2 has issues with net play that have to be resolved, but a lot of the games under development do not.
I've listened to Major Nelson's shows on this issue, but c'mon. XBLA should be overflowing with goodness by now.
how hard is it to port Paperboy?
It's more work intensive than you might guess.
Okay, but let me say this - there are emulators all over the net for old arcade games/consoles. My understanding is that the way back compat is handled, they basically use the same emulation code for multiple/all games (not clear on whether there's one or many Xbox 1 emulators under the hood). Why isn't there just, at least for ported arcade games, one or two master emulator programs that they use for many games? Maybe Paperboy is a one-off, and for some reason is so unique that it doesn't work on MAME or the like, but with all those emulators on the net having been made for free by people working on it in their spare time, it seems strange to me that there should be any hold-up on non net multiplayer ports. New games, I can understand. Don't ship the the Smash Brothers clone until it's ready, I'll wait.
I have MAME as well, with the 43 1/2 versions of Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat betas and ROMsets, etc..
Maybe they're just cleaning up the code for the XBLA?
There's also licensing rights and making it worth paying for. Why buy Street Fighter 2 on Live when its free on emulation? Because you can beat up your friends. Why buy Frogger? (Good question, Im not planning on it)
Who can tell me who has the Paperboy license? (Thats a rhetorical question, don't answer, Lobster)
Maybe Paperboy is a one-off, and for some reason is so unique that it doesn't work on MAME or the like
Emulating is NOT what Xbox Live Arcade is about.
Gauntlet isn't emulated. It's a new client that hooks into everything Xbox Live is about - friends, multiplay, scoreboards, support for HD resolutions, etc.
It's the same thing with any old game brought to Marketplace. It's not emulation. It's writing a new version of the old software. And that includes a shit-ton of seemingly little things (like, say, changing all assets that refer to the arcade buttons and making them reflect the Xbox 360 controller) that seem minor enough by themselves, but add up into a large amount of work that non-developers never think about.
And it's about QA and passing rigorous certification processes that many MAME emulated games would fail, even though they're "good enough" (for free, at least).
Efforts like MAME get things 95% there, but it's the last 5% that's as hard as everything else before it.
I stand corrected, then. Still, I think the release rate has been slow. 
I stand corrected, then. Still, I think the release rate has been slow. :smile:
THAT, I will not argue over. I am surprised that there aren't more games hitting Live Arcade - not by way of speeding up output from those contributing, but by way of getting MORE contributors. We keep hearing how there are 100+ studios/publishers developing for Live Arcade, but they must have mostly gotten started pretty late, because what we've seen so far has been from a small group of publishers.
I do know it's keeping Digital Eclipse busy.
I forgot how difficult Frogger was/is.. The online mode is extraordinarily laggy for a game this old (see: graphically simple.) I guess it really does take a substantial amount of time to get on-line components to work with old games. Probably also points to why Street Fighter is not out yet.
Cloning Clyde looks OK, but I fear the Peter Pack Rat (atari) look, and the control looks fairly floaty. Hopefully it's a fun romp.
Has anybody stumbled upon Cloning Clyde in the Marketplace yet?

I'm downloading the trial version now.
Am I the only one that is struggling to wait for Galaga? They better have done it up right.
Not struggling, but really looking forward to Galaga, Defender, PacMan, Contra.
I'm really hoping that Galga on Live includes a version of Galaga '94. Both are great in their own respects.
I bought Cloning Clyde. It's pretty entertaining. The sense of humor and general just silly ideas involved in the game overcome the fact that I normally don't play platformers.
I needed something different from all my other games which all involve shooting things or driving things, or sometimes both, but not really anything else. This one seems to have at least temporarily filled that void in some small way.
I still can't wait for August 2nd.
I needs to put down the MAME Galaga-Galaxian-Galaxian PacMan hack-Galaga Hack- etc... get me some achievements ftw..
I really wish they'd also include Galaga 88 in the Live Arcade package. The original is great, but Galaga 88 was the pinnacle achievement for those games in my opinion. Mostly because your ship didn't move so damn slow in 88. I'm sure it's just going to be the original, but hopefully they haven't created another disgusting half-emulation, half-crappily-updated version like they did with Frogger. It'd also be nice if you could switch on options in the main menu to add some of the hacks to the game that are available in MAME (for unranked games of course.) Here's hoping...
Anyone pick up Galaga? How is it?
It's pretty good, the emulation is near-perfect. The ommission of Two-Player mode is a shame though.
25 minutes into playing it, however, most of the achievements were unlocked. But, is Galaga!
I dont have the burden of nostalgia on me with this game. I tried the demo and it was probably the first time I'd played this game specifically. I actually thought it was going to be one of the side scrolling space shooters.
The demo was a yawn for me. Saw no reason to drop a fiver.
Are a lot of people here looking forward to the Street Fighter 2 Release? It was a little before my time, but it would be nice to have a decent fighter.
I downloaded it and played a few games. The lack of two person is bizarre and disappointing. Otherwise, pretty faithful. I still suck at the game after all this time.
