Shame, that game is actually kind of fun. Any clue why it was delisted? Maybe a licensing issue with the Yars name?

It was published by Atari, so probably not.

Agreed. It was decent enough for what was a remake done in the style of Star Fox & such. I really need to go back to that one of these days. Wonder if this means the other Atari remakes will get taken down.

Yeah that must have been it, if it's been delisted why is the demo still available ?

Couldn't you buy it from the demo version ?

That's a good question. My guess is you'll probably just receive some sort of Marketplace error, but I won't be home for another 7 hours to test that. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

Haven't tried it with this game, but it's never worked before with other delisted games. Usually, like nCogNeato says, you just get an error message when you try to buy it through the demo.

EDIT: Apparently it works with the Pinball FX1 demo, or at least it did at one point.

I want to say it worked for me with Pinball FX, but I could be wrong.

I think it got delisted when FX2 came out because you could buy the FX1 tables in a pack, but I had the demo downloaded so I bought FX1 so I could get the FX1 achievements as well as get the tables in FX2.

This is true, had the option to buy it for 800 Points would have done it if I was able to get the DLC packages for this game as well hate, when I can't complete games, because it's no longer obtainable :X

Same for Marble Blast..had a full game code, but DLC wasn'r available anymore so I traded it hum...

Still have the demos of Diner Dash and Double Dragon wish I could unlock the full games somehow haha =P hate when games getting delisted >.<" they could at least make a sale before it's gone forever ._.

Yeah, kind of "soon to be delisted" Dotw

I don't understand why they do not lower the price in the months prior to the delisting. That way at least they would get more money for their product.

Yeah I can confirm Pinball FX trial worked for me as of last year as well.

Damn it! I actually liked the demo, but didn't want to pay the 800 for it. I should have just bought the thing despite my backlog. I was wondering if this might happen.

If I was somehow able to track down a code for the full game, would I still be able to download it? I have the demo so it should just be a matter of unlocking the full game.

Edit: I can't unlock the game through the demo version, it doesn't show up, but perhaps a code would allow me to since it would be seen as a purchase I made before the delisting.

All this talk of recent delistings makes me think I should pull the trigger on Star Raiders as I suspect it is next on the chopping block. Will probably bite tonight.

Speaking of Atari's remakes... I thought Warlords was pretty good. Takes a little while t get used to, but it's fun when you get the hang of it. Not much long-term appeal outside of multiplayer once the relatively short campaign is over though.

I would think you'd be fine.

It has nothing to with the Atari game except that the title is the same.

Speaking of delistings, Too Human has been removed from Games on Demand, along with the demo, and stuff like themes & gamer pics.

The Atari one was Yars' Revenge and the 360 one was Yar's Revenge.

Yeah, yeah, I realize I'm splitting hairs here. Sorry...

I actually liked the story that was there and I could have forgiven some of the clunky mechanics and response times but combined with the level designs they just blew balls. Whether it was taking my gun out to slow or sometimes climbing a wall fast and sometimes slow the gameplay just frustrated me to no end. Then you have zombies that kill you faster than you can respond plus times when the ceiling just decides it is going to cave in on you. I am not a very good platform gamer but the amount of cheap shit in this games was ridiculous. I cannot count how many times I had to start a part over. The only saving grace is the checkpoint system was good so you never lost too much work. Also, hey just start the part over and not wait till I hit a button AGAIN. I am not even sure I could recommend this game to be honest. I was that frustrated with it.

That is unfortunate to hear. The Amazon PCDD rep is trying to put together a Microsoft arcade PC bundle and Deadlight is on the list. I was really looking forward to playing it but maybe I'll focus on Mark of the Ninja first. Thanks for the review.

That has to do with the recall, Too Human and Xmen Destiny were recalled and ordered to be destroyed.
