Just for fun - what is your favourite XBox Live Arcade version of these classic Amiga games?

1. Sensible Soccer
2. Speedball 2
3. Monkey Island
4. Worms

For me it's Sensi, but I'm really enjoying playing the new Monkey Island with my daughter, who, being 8 is just being introduced properly to her dad's geeky gaming past :)

Skil

I like Sensi the most out of that list :)

Worms is OK but not as good as Worms DC! Ive downloaded Worms 2:Armageddon but not tried it yet.

Im currently playing Rocket Riot which is lots of fun, I also like AstroPop, Bankshot Billiards, JointStrike 1942 and Hexic (1 & 2). Theres loads of good games on there :) Around half of my games are XBLA games.

What Id really like to see is Minskies Furballs on there, I used to play that all the time back in the day :P

There is something honestly wrong with you people.   Why stop yourself having enjoyment because of some misguided  ideas.  Talk about cutting off you nose to spite your face.

Well said mate. I dont see why people wont buy a certain piece of software or hardware because its made by a certain company?? :confused: I buy stuff on merit and its relevance on what I want it to do for me, nothing more. The 360 is a great gaming console and XBL is the benchmark for console online gaming, the fact that its made by Microsoft (thats how its spelt by the way;) ) is irrelevant.
