[quote name='eau']Are these actually new discs retrieved from the bundle and sold as used?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, when I bought one and asked the guy to make sure I got a good disc (since there were 8 or 9 copies) he said they should all be good since they took them out of the bundles.

For those that just want this for Pac-Man: CE, I'd also suggest Namco Museum Virtual Arcade which just came out last week. I just got it yesterday and it's a damn good deal. SRP is $30, but I already nabbed a $20 sealed copy off half.com.

It has 9, NINE! Arcade titles($60 'marketplace' value) and every one still has their own achievements for a possible 1800 pts with this compilation. Plus there are 25 more classic games on the disc.

The highlights are obviously Pac-Man: CE & Galaga Legions, but also Super Pac-Man and Pac-Man Arrangement which are awesome.

[quote name='zao366']how are the achievements on these games? fun?[/QUOTE]

UNO - Easy

Feeding Frenzy - Easy
except for two; one requires 10 hours of play time, the other is eating 1,000 sharks which takes forever.

Pac-Man: CE - Moderate
Mostly easy depending on your level of Pac-Man skill

Luxor 2 - Moderate
You can get over half pretty easy, but there a couple toughies in there. Not to mention the game is glitched on 10-4 making the harder achievements that much more difficult to attain. Zuma is a much more rewarding experience.

Boom Boom Rocket - Hard
These are damn hard. Not impossible, but you have to pretty much master the game to have a chance at getting them all.

[quote name='dragonjud']Have one on my tradelist (sealed) for $10 shipped[/QUOTE]

Looking back at that disc it appears the only one I don't have at this point is Astropop. So I guess I don't really need the disc at this point. Thanks though.

[quote name='io']Wow, nice price. The problem is I already have PacMan CE, Uno, and Luxor 2 (I think k)... So is it worth $3.50 (after Cellfire discount and Edge) for Feeding Frenzy and Boom Boom Rocket? Keep in mind I still have plenty of 75% off XBox Live points cards .

My 5 year-old son might like Feeding Frenzy and I have no idea what Boom Boom Rocket is, but I guess since I'm heading to GS tonight anyway I'll check it out.[/QUOTE]

I saw you already bought it but If you are wanting a game to play with your son, skip Feeding Frenzy and get Feeding Frenzy 2. It has local co-op play that is perfect when playing with a youngster and a much better game overall.

Boom Boom Rocket is indeed fun though. Friendly reminder, they had some free DLC tracks a while back, I assume those would work with the disc?

I really like Luxor 2.

Luxor 2 is the redheaded stepchild of Zuma which is in turn the sadistic nephew of Magnetica.

which in turn is the crazed uncle of Ballistic which is just the demon spawn of the arcade game Puzzloop

i bought this last november(shortly after the arcade bundle was introduced) for 12 or 15.. great deal then and a better one now.

not seeing much love for Luxor 2 in this thread but it's an addictive game!

 

[angelfly]

I picked it up today. The problem was they used the same case for both the XBLA compilation as well as the Unplugged compilation.

 

[Persona7]

Damn, I picked up a second disk for my friend today and the disk looked like it went through a washing machine then buffed out with a crappy buffer.

It was the last copy though.

I grabbed this for $6 (inc. shipping) off eBay, and it was most certainly worth it. Boom Boom Rocket would be an amazing game if it had more than ten songs, but the ten that are there are superb.

I think Luxor 2 is pretty fun for a couple of hours, but it's got 88 friggin' levels, which is just too damn much of the same gameplay over and over again, especially considering it's actually 20-25 levels repeated over and over again.

I just got this, damn boom boom rockets is awesome. I wonder how I let it pass me by. I love this kind of game. It's a shame there is isn't any real DLC I would consider buying. If they had some good songs I might consider buying them.
