Been playing Deathspank, Been a long time since I've played a game for 5 hours straight, Fantastic game full of quirky humor and graphics as you'd expect from the creator of Monkey Island\Day of the tentacle.

Last week "PAC-MAN MUSEUM" got released, which includes Pac Man Battle Royale! However for some reason they founded the need to give this compilation a hefty price tag of €19,99,-!!!! Ah well, at the end of the day Battle Royale is worth the almost €20,-. Thing that borders bothers me the most is the fact that BR is not being rendered full screen .

I got this and was mega disappointed that Battle Royal is in a tiny window with no full screen option! The emulation on the older games is poor as the sound in Pac-Land is all over the place.

[cRacKh0rN]

Can you make any of the other Pac titles included full screen? Given that they are most likely made in Direct X I see now reason not to have a scale mode

[Andypc]

No all games are only playable in a window with a boarder. No screen adjustments available!

[cRacKh0rN]

Man, what a let down. I really want to play Royale but for that kind of money, I would expect some screen options :S

Are there any oldschoolish games (that rules out COD, BF4, etc!) on xbla that have any sort of playerbase still? I think outrun2's online play has been disabled for ages, and i don't think i've ever seen anyone online on the matchmaking for Streets of Rage 2 since i got it years ago (i think it's actually TWICE on xbla now, a newer in some fancy 3-pack sega collection). Is there any other game i can get that i can have at least a chance of finding any online players? Chronicles of Mystara maybe?

[Milspex]

is there anything worthwhile scheduled for release as far as arcade ports go? I think XBLA is pretty dead from the looks of it

It's a shame how XBLA has been pretty much abandoned in the last couple of years. Back in the day MS really dominated the digital landscape with many fine releases (hell my X360 has been mainly used to play XBLA releases instead of full retail one's). Seeing that 'Retro City Rampage' (2012) hardly sold any copies on X360, as where it was a great succes on PS3, probably answers the question why there's hardly anything worthy coming out nowadays.
