Pirate games used to be so hard to find. There was Risen and that was about it. Then Assassin's Creed tried it in AC3 and it became a thing, taking over AC Black Flag. I love it. I still need to pick up AC Black Flag though.

It looks like all of these games are coming out on last gen consoles too. I wonder why Xbox One wasn't listed for the first two above though. That's disturbing to me even though I don't have any next gen systems.

You've got one button and a joystick, just like most arcade games at the time. How much can you really do with that anyway.

She's working on a Star Wars game. That's all I know.

I like the way you access those booklets in the virtual room. It's very easy.

Oo. You're right. Tales is only available on WiiWare and PSN. For some reason I thought this was a bundle of the first two games already out on XBLA.

That History Channel game looks interesting. I've played other HC games, and they weren't bad. They weren't great either, but I like learning.

I heard Tokyo Jungle is just nuts. I was tempted by that one. Also, the Monkey Island bundle was also very tempting. I kind of want to play that on 360 for achievements though.

I kinda liked that about Activision. They didn't try to do too much with such a limited system. Each game had one main gameplay element and it was done well. 

I really liked how you select games with a virtual cartridge organizer and a preview of the game on the TV. The 80's music is fine, but it plays during the games, and after a while it got annoying.

I noticed on the wiki page that there are a bunch of Activision made games that didn't make the cut because of licensing issues such as Ghostbusters. I guess they managed to solve the Commando one.

I tried Pressure Cooker but I guess I didn't get it. You build a burger and then drop it in one of the chutes. I should read the instructions I guess. 

I always had trouble with Defender and games like it. It's something to do with the way the screen moves when you turn around. It throws me for a loop every time.
