Here’s one for free, Microsoft…
The Xbox Live Arcade team has another hit on its hands with the recently-released Street Fighter 2. With an easy <50mb download, you’re back in 1993, except now your grainy SNES RF adapter has been replaced by 1080 lines of sweet, sweet high definition picture. And instead of having to hunker down at a friend’s house for some multiplayer (with more tolerant parents than yours), you can find a game 24/7 across the globe on Xbox Live.
My humble suggestion is–as you may have already gathered–Lemmings! I would immediately pony up the pseudocash to bring Lemmings into my living room, and I know I’m not even biased in the least by nostalgia when I say that. I spent countless hours on the 8088 in my bedroom trying to get those suicidal little buggers out the trap door, and I’d gladly do it again. Let’s see it, Microsoft!

I thought the lemmings were my idea? and I get no credit at all. How sad. I guess you thought I never read your blog so how would I know if you stole my idea. Well I do read it! Anyways you don’t need to post this, just giving you a hard time.

Ah, crap. See, I didn’t just think you didn’t read it… I thought nobody was reading. So I figured I was safe to just steal your ideas.
I think I had actually forgotten that this was your idea. It was a very good idea, my dear. Props to Heather!

Um, is this just for the xbox? I am lucky enough to have some old NES games on my cell phone now. I love nostalgia!

Yeah, you lousy people and your Q phones. I hate you for having that sexy smartphone.
