Really, no kidding..... let me explain

360 has some redone versions of classic Atari games. Well, Atari redid these for the Jaguar 15 years ago and they're SUPERIOR to the 360 versions.... I wish the Atari guys who worked on these games would get hired by Microsoft and make updated versions of ALL the Atari classics, these guys were AWESOME to make such great looking and playing games on such a crappy system.

Have a look:

Tempest on the Jaguar looked good and had an AWESOME techno soundtrack. Plus it amazingly enough controlled VERY well on the Jag without a spinner knob.

The 360 version looks decent and has no soundtrack (unless you stream your own) and the controls STINK

Up next Defender: WOW! What a difference!

Well, I downloaded the Tempest demo from LIVE arcade last night and thought that it sucked (Tron does too btw) compared to the version I've got on the Jaguar. So I dragged out my Jaguar after playing Tempest on LIVE and hooked up the Jag and played Tempest 2000 for like over an hour.... :D

Missle Command rocks on the 360. I definately would've bought it the day it came out... if it wasn't missle command.

I doubt if the Jaguar version of Pacman (if there is one) beats Pacman Championship Edition on the 360.
