Who owns all of the Arcade Games?

07/11/06 3:04 pm | #1

I sure as heck haven't bought them all, but I was curious to know who has bought everyone of them that are available as so far?

Xbox Live Arcade List

I wonder how much money it takes to buy them all?

I think I own 7 total, but 1 of them was free with my Live Starter kit - Billiards - and I hardly ever play that one.

I have 8 of them, soon to be more with Street Dighter, Pac Man, Galaga and Frogger. I'm a sucker for the retro stuff. My guess is Chachster has the most, but not all...

So, let's just say that their avg. point cost is 600 (in between the 800 price and the 400 price) - that would be 600 x 21 games = 12,600 points x $.0125 a point ($20 for 1600 points at the stores) = $157.50 for 21 Live Arcade games. That's an avg. of $7.50 a game. Not too shabby, but still quite a chunk of change, and that is if the avg is correct.

Alright, I am on a mission now. I am giving in to MS and it's release of all the 80's remakes. After my post yesterday about the lack or original arcade games, I decided, wth, if you can't beat 'em, BUY 'EM ALL!

So, I am now on a mission to buy all of the arcade games, just so I don't have to worry and bitch about what sucks and what doesn't. I only have about 8 more to get, and I just bought 5000 MS points. So, there goes the credit card, woot! I hate when my friends come over and ask me to play one of the classics and I say I don't own it so we can only play one level.

And by the way, I managed to get my first 100% achievements on an arcade game - Cloning Clyde.

Yes, I own quite a few of the arcade games, not all. Outpost Kaloioi (sp!), I just guess I don't understand it so I know I wont buy that one!

All of the ones on the Summer of XBLA will be purchased.. I love the retro games. Bring on PAC-MAN!!

To note: I would never spend 15 bucks on bankshot billiards, it was free with the purchase of the live kit!

Oh so true about billiards. It was free with my Live Kit also and is definitely one of my least favorite arcade games.

It is so funny how much time I spend messing around with arcade games versus the next gen retail games. Nothing like owning a $400 Xbox 360 and playing 80's video games on it.

Yeah, tell me about it. I think in my case it's because I am really lazy and don't want to get off the couch to change games. With live arcade I can do it all from the comfort of my seat!

Must be something about us older guys, as I was thinking the exact same thing. LOL

Anyone wanna convince me to get Outpost Kalolki X? It's the only one I don't own. I tried the trial, but I didn't get the point of the game at all? Help me decide.. it would make my XBLA library complete. Of course with tomorrow I will be sure to get Texas Hold 'Em during the 48 hour FREE window and if you are on my friends list, I'll be doing a mass message to all as a reminder to go and get Texas Hold 'Em while its FREE!! Anyway, back on my quest... any own Outpost Kaloki X?

Okay, now I do own all the Live Arcade titles! :) After playing Outpost Kaloki X, I was impressed and pulled the trigger (well, pushed the button) :)
Very addicting game and it allows you to sit play and watch your colony grow. It reminds me a lot of sim city, but in outter space!

I did the math and if you have all XBLA games that should be $130 thats not counting the free games. thats alot of money on XBLA :D

Yeah, I figured it was about the price of 3 retail games.

I only have 5 XBLA games. 2 of which were free.
