TECMO CLASSIC ARCADE
for Xbox, published by Microsoft, RRP £19.99

Seriously, get your Xbox chipped, you idiot. MAME does all this stuff far better. There are a few decent games here, but several of the conversions are rather iffy (the gruesomely distorted sound when you score a goal in Tecmo World Cup is unforgivable, and Bomb Jack just isn't Bomb Jack without "Lady Madonna"), the titles haven't been chosen with any particular regard for how well they suit the Xbox controller, and the filler-to-killer ratio is a little high too. Owners of other platforms won't be crying too many tears over this being Xbox-only.

Bomb Jack with completely different music? What kind of nostalgia is that?
