If you fall into this group of gamers, these next two images are sure to bring you back to a place long forgotten in your childhood. So enjoy this trip down memory lane, brought to you by Playbrains."

DaRockSays5453d ago

I don remember this show? when was it

CrAppleton5453d ago

It came out in 1987? I'm pretty sure that was when they debuted it.. around there anyway

slave2Dcontroller5452d ago (Edited 5452d ago )

Weird! I just kinda posted the same comment and then I read yours LOL! Its funny how we both tied Madballs to Garbage Pale Kids.

Neco5125453d ago

Anyone else remember the toys that had bodies, where the heads would shoot off?

CrAppleton5453d ago

Hell yeah! I remember playing with those toys.. I also remember the cartoon

Neco5125453d ago

ya, it's a good 20 years old +

Neco5125452d ago

HA! I didn't see that you posted a video, that's amazing!

solidt125452d ago

I didn't know there was a cartoon, but I remember the toys and I use to collect garbage pal kids.

Funny.. even though the game looks like it won't be reminiscent of the cartoon at all.. I still want to play it JUST because I used to watch the cartoon and play with the toys

Those things hurt when you got pulverized with one. I remember the horn being particularly nasty...

Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2 and more arrive via Xbox Back Comp – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "It’s been a while since we last had any new Xbox One backwards compatible titles to cast our nostalgic minds back to once more, and in the few weeks since the last arrivals, releases in general have been a lot quieter than usual. But that all looks set to change with several new games hitting the store all in one go, and today seeing some fresh faces to the backwards compatible library too.

The thing is, are they worth the return or should they simply remain as nothing more than a memory forever more?"

Four More Games Added To Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program

Microsoft has announced the latest additions to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility catalog. Arriving today are four Xbox 360 games: Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2, Madballs in Babo: Invasion, and Poker Smash.

Effects2624d ago

SFIV and SSFIV are considered different games right? Need to know whether I should be happy or not.

EnsignHiro2622d ago

Yes they are different. Sf iv is the very first iteration while super is second and has balance changes as well as new chars, aditional ultra for each character, new stages /modes and of course different arcade mode stories for each character.

TheCommentator2624d ago

Finally, Madballs in Babo: Invasion!!!

I honestly didn't even know it was a game. Hell, I still don't even know what it's about, but the idea of having to Invade Babo with Madballs popped into my head and it just doesn't sound right at all anymore...

Shadow Man2624d ago

Still waiting for silent hill HD collection ...

xMANB3ARP1G2624d ago

lol still waiting for a patch on xbox 360 for that one first so good luck. would be cool.

Lighter92624d ago

Lol. I'm going to go play Zelda and Horizon. Thanks anyway though.

jokerisalive2624d ago

That's why you dropped your troll comment about two games we don't really care about in an Xbox related article.....they have NOTHING to do with Xbox BC.

Lighter92624d ago

Everyone knows you all can't take jokes well.

DeadManMMX2624d ago

I'm playing that too but that doesn't mean I'm not happy about my favorite fighting game being playable on xbox one.

Kiwi662624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

And yet no one cares given how this is about BC on Xbox One

Nu2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

I have access to Zelda but please don't be instigating the console war.
I'll be downloading SFIV asap.

Top Ten XBLA Hidden Gems

Dealspwn rounds up ten brilliant XBLA games that you probably haven't heard of.

Dealspwn: "The Xbox Live Marketplace has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, becoming nothing less than the Xbox 360's unique selling point. It's the ultimate equaliser and a source of innovation that frequently puts retail releases to shame - but the only flaw is that it's easy for XBLA games to go unnoticed without even making a splash.

So here are ten of the games that fell through the media cracks, that languish near the bottom of the best selling lists yet provide plenty of bang for your buck."
