One of the achievements should be beating the game co-op with no continues.. 1000points. ;)

That would be too easy, just use the cheat and you're all set.

I am definitly stoked about this. It's online correct? Have a buddy be the second player, holy crap it will rock. I can't even tell you how many times I've played this game and beaten it only to play it again. On top of Contra, Paperboy is also coming to XBLA, another one of my favorites. Xbox Live Arcade has finally seen the light!

When I heard that I started jumping like a little kid on Christmas. Pac-man, Contra, Frogger, wow. Too bad Q-Bert and Zaxxon get no love.

As for Contra, I heard it was the only title that didnt get any visual upgrade. Its still early, but I wouldnt be too upset about that.

I love Xbox Live Arcade, now where are the Dreamcast games?

Wow..I remember Skate Or Die. It wasnt a bad game. Another game I would like to see is, Tron.

Oh god yes, they do need Skate or Die! I loved that game! I hope they use this XBLA to their advantage and get some great oldies on here like they are doing now. Continue the chain!

Never played Contra but for more than a few minutes. I'm still looking foward to it though.

And I agree with JVB...where are the DC games...I'd so love to get ahold of some of those...like the original PGR...then titled MSR...loved that game.

I think developers are still testing the waters before someone makes a big splash - which could be later this fall. As of right now, the Arcade isn't that great. There's only a few good titles out.

Double Dragon would be cool.

Ikari Warriors.

In your face tits would be Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

I don't know if that would be the tits. I didn't like the game that much.
Now, the original Punch Out from the arcade, that would be the tits.
