After the release of games like Worms and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) has been a little quiet. However, this condition will not remain for long as Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest will soon be landing on the Xbox 360.
The news broke out when CVG checked out with the ESRB website and found that these three retro titles had been cleared. Missile Command was first released as an arcade game by Atari in 1980 while Asteroids came a little earlier in 1979. Tempest is a tube shooter originally designed and programmed by David Theurer. The game was launched in 1980 by Atari and since then spawned a lot of sequels and ports.
No details regarding the launch date or the pricing have been released as yet. But we can tell you, Xbox 360 gamers will be waiting desperately for these games. But it would be really great if Missile Command, Asteroids and Tempest release on the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3. Keep watching this space for more details.
