Retro games you would like to see on Xbox Live!

So we've already got Gauntlet, Joust, Smash TV and Robotron and Street Fighter is on the way.

But what else would you like to see ported/converted to Xbox Arcade?

Two for me would have to be:

Ballblazer - still very playable today and with the possibility the online multiplayer!
Speedball 2 - see above!

2D Worms would be massive on Live Arcade. I'd also like to see some Jeff Minter stuff.

ANY even half-decent shmup. By that, I don't mean Geo Wars or other Robotron clone, I mean scrolling vertical or horizontal screen full of bullets WTF! goodness.

Cotton or Gunbird get my vote.

Super Sprint ! (or Badlands or Iron Man Stewarts off Road)

Actually why not bomberman

Xybots - A online link-up option with a friend would be superb.

Jetpac - Think how much fun you could have trying to beat your friend's scores.

Mega-lo-mania - It only weighs in at around 2 megs, but would make a superb game to download. This could feature loads of achievement unlockables.

All awesome suggestions.

Any I now make would pale in comparison.

I think the classic Death Tank Zwei easter egg game in Saturn's Duke Nukem 3D would be a good choice.

Very short quick rounds, upto 6-7 players, desperate rushes for the burried weapons, nukes + 360 LIVE voice chat = Nivarna ^_^

*BLITZ ROUND!!*

Star Control 2. Single player only, yes, but imagine achievements based on races encountered and the like.

That's my favourite game of all-time! Why the hell didn't I think of that? Imagine a 'World Super-Melee Tournie'!

<--- Very annoyed to have not thought of that before

Speedball 2

Moonstone

Its not really retro but 4 way Command And Conquer would be good.

I think SPY vs SPY(the original sideways ones)would make a great live game just for the amount of traps you could lay down.

Bubble Bobble

Cant think of any more at the moment but when I do I will post
