Doom is first on my list.Sep 27th 2006 was the beginning of Doom for Xbox arcade.This is one of my personal favorites and it is just as fun to play today as when it was first introduced. Blast demons and go on a killing spree in the classic multi player first person shooter. This game literally defined an entire genre and generation of games that came after it.It is still very challenging and very high on the replay value.
Next up on my nostalgia list is cooperative play Defender.Cooperative play Defender along with Double Dragon, Dig Dug and any other of the Coin-op games bring back memories of my earlier game days. And original and true side scroller spaceship game this game is seriously as addictive now as it was then. I find myself flying and shooting for hours when the challenges and complexities of the modern games get to be too much.
