    Oh Snap!! this is pretty old school! Love it. I have to buy Eets though. I’ve been thinking of doing so though for some time :)

  • http://twitter.com/Double_O_Slevin Seth Ward

    I guess I’m out again this week. I only have UNO. Oh well.

  • http://twitter.com/K4rn4ge Scott (K4rn4ge)

    Awesome old school games – would love to see more classic XBLA hits too in the future. I have all 9 of these already woot!

  • Anonymous

    For everyone who’s never played Eets before: You will never get the victory tune out of your head!

  • http://twitter.com/philosomy Adrian Bolstridge

    Even though I lack 2 of the games, i like the concept of retro challenges like this…did i just use retro to describe early XBLA games?

  • http://www.facebook.com/simon.d.charbonneau Simon Deathy Charbonneau

    Great idea. Now I have a reason to buy Eets !! Let’s do this :)

    • http://www.thetjhzone.blogspot.com/ Tylerh1701

      Ditto! I’ve actually been waiting for an Eets sale for a while! This works too!!

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/Z2FW7NVLDL57ANGCLKPRP253XM Nutman

    Man I wish we knew what the prizes are. Don’t really want Eets but I actually already have 2 of them already for once.

  • Anonymous

    Damit now I am compelled to buy eets. I have 100% on uno and clyde. :)

  • http://twitter.com/xblaratings XBLA Ratings

    Ooh, may have to buy Cloning Clyde.

  • http://twitter.com/Newdeck Gerard Newdeck

    Might buy Eeets, but it will cut into my xbla budget. lol

  • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

    Awesome, only need to grab one of those Eets cheeves!

  • http://www.thetjhzone.blogspot.com/ Tylerh1701

    Hmm…got all the Cloning Clyde ones, got one on Uno. Considering Eets, I’ve been wanting it for a while anyway.

  • http://twitter.com/Pushaman55 K.Y.

    I entered the XBLA game too late. These games I do not own. lol have fun you guys.

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/Z2FW7NVLDL57ANGCLKPRP253XM Nutman

    Just tried out the Eets demo. Not my type of game at all, so boring. Would probably buy it at $5 just to finally win one of these challenges but not at $10. One of these weeks I’ll win this damn thing.

    • Cap’n Franky

      I have eets and it is indeed very dull, don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it to start with, but 120 challenges makes it a game to play bit by bit which I don’t like.

      Thankfully the only game I needed was cloning Clyde and that’s only 400msp, I wouldn’t have paid 800…

      Although 800msp for 3 games is a very good deal, problem is, you probably already have Jo danger, kidding, na problem is, you risk already having the games, but there’s always eBay/friends!

  • Anonymous

    Anyone want to play some Uno? I only lack the XBL 10 wins one if you all are interested in playing a bit.

    • Cap’n Franky

      Honestly it won’t take you long at all, once you get into the swing of things and ignore the odd penis on camera (Both meanings of the word) then its a fun social one too.

  • Freddy W.

    Wow..no games here I even want to buy let alone own. There’s always next weekend…

  • Cap’n Franky

    Does anyone have a good source for the ninja skills on eets? I found this but I can’t get some of them to work;

    http://www.achieve360points.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-34764.html

  • http://www.thetjhzone.blogspot.com/ Tylerh1701

    Turns out Eets sucks. Oh well, I’ll grind through it anyway.

  • Desert Crawler

    I have UNO! Thats right, uno juego. Just..umm..one.

  • http://www.thetjhzone.blogspot.com/ Tylerh1701

    Finished! Woohoo! :-)

  • http://www.facebook.com/KiNgDeeM Nicholas Teri

    Just wondering but what if u already have the achievements? Not that I do.

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

      You can still enter.

      • http://www.facebook.com/KiNgDeeM Nicholas Teri

        Cool thanks! Eets is not for me tho.

        • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

          There’s a Show Solution option so Puzzle Collector and Speed Demon should be rather easy, if time consuming. They’re practically the same achievement, beat all levels.

          But yeah Eets: Chowdown should have been on Recently Reduced long ago. I personally think Arcade Hits should be brought back into the Game Marketplace and whenever XBLA games are permanently cut they should go in there.

          Wonder how well Roboblitz is selling, still at 1200 over five and a half years since it launched…

          • http://www.facebook.com/KiNgDeeM Nicholas Teri

            I agree but what I want are Catan expansion packs =oP

  • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

    Aaah, time to bring this back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZuGas6yRQ

  • http://twitter.com/Newdeck Gerard Newdeck

    So whats th deal wit eets? Can I nab one achievement in a few hours of play time or not worth it? I can’t devote my whole sunday to video games.

    • http://twitter.com/toythatkills mAtt

      Maybe two or three hours, yeah. You can click “view solution” for every level and it sets it all up for you, and then you just have to execute it yourself (not always easy).

      • Anonymous

        Took me closer to 6 with view solution. Executing the button presses does require some skill and timing.

    • Cap’n Franky

      120 levels, you’ll pull your hair out due to sheer boredom though it is doable.

      • http://twitter.com/Newdeck Gerard Newdeck

        Yeah I may just pass on this one. I have the other 6 achievements and I think this game is playable, but it isn’t the kind of game I’m gonna grind in a few hours. Gonna take the nephews fishing instead.

      Twenty ninja skills you can get mad easily

  • Jamie

    Sadly I suck at Uno and cant buy Eets cause im saving my points for Wrekateer!

    • Cap’n Franky

      Save your points for Deadlight!

      • Anonymous

        Wreckateer is a ton of fun. I’ve become quite the advocate. Something I usually don’t do. Get them both.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675166986 Michael Alexander Clarke

    Darn! I’ve gotten used to never being able to complete these challenges and put them out of my mind.

    Now I look and see that I already had 6 of these achievements. All I would’ve had to do is get Eets! :(

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675166986 Michael Alexander Clarke

    I’d love it if you guys would do more of these old school challenges. There are lots of older games I have that I’ve never had an excuse to play.

  • XBLA_Vulcan

    Thanks for participating everyone! We’re getting the prizes out to you all today, so please patient! :D

    • Roku750

      Why are people down-voting this? I can understand being a bit upset about the skins, but being mean to the friendly mods isn’t a good way to go about it.

  • Cap’n Franky

    Not to sound ungrateful and all but I’m not keen on the fact one of the prizes is minecraft skins, mainly considering the fact it’s 160points? and I could have had to purchase one or more games to participate in the challenge……

    I understand that with it being a retro challenge more people will be participating, but what would be wrong with old games as a reward as its retro and all? Even an old game and the DLC for it if 2 games is too much?

    I do find the skins a bit of a kick in the teeth if I’m honest…

    • Roku750

      Are you serious? But the prize is listed as “Two XBLA game codes”. =(

    • Anonymous

      Very glad I didn’t buy a game I really didn’t want for this after hearing what the prizes ended up being. Already have the game and definitely didn’t want Minecraft skins. That being said it is a free prize, kinda hard to complain.

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

      On the one hand, they don’t gave to give away stuff.
      On the other, it DOES say 2 XBLA game codes, not 1 XBLA game and some DLC/skins/a f***ing region locked beta so I see your point and I have to somewhat agree.
      Still, 1360 worth of content for just playing some vidya. Even if it was the awful awful Eets.

      • Roku750

        What was the actual game prize?

        • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

          Minecraft skins and Trials Evo.

        • Anonymous

          Trials Evo I think. I still haven’t gotten my codes but I hope it ends up being something else since I already have it.

        • Cap’n Franky

          Trials Evo, again.

  • Cap’n Franky

    It also states I win 2 XBLA ‘Game’ codes, I don’t deem minecraft skins as a game code….

    • http://twitter.com/SirKhalid Jean-Pierre

      Yep, it’s kinda lame.

  • Anonymous

    Skins? Ugh! I am already regretting putting all that time into eets this weekend (which was not fun btw). I guess it’s still better than the Hybrid beta code, even if it’s equally useless. :(

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

      At least those outside the US can use the skins. I think if anyone wanted them they’d have bought them by now.

      Maybe I’ll give mine to my brother, he’s still playing it for some reason.

  • http://twitter.com/toythatkills mAtt

    Personally I’m okay with skins, I wanted them anyway! And you got Trials Evo as well, so it’s not like you’re *that* hard done by =P

    Depends how you interpret the wording. If you read it as ~XBLA “game” codes~ then you’d be annoyed, but ~”XBLA game” codes~ could easily include DLC, and I’ve had plenty of good DLC from this, like Marvel Pinball packs and other stuff too.

    • Cap’n Franky

      But with the above you didn’t have to buy a game to use the code, pinball is free so you are getting a game.

      There is no 2 ways to word it, remove game from it and it can, but as soon as game is used it emplies you can play it.

      • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

        Not to mention if people actually bought Eets and either bought Clyde or already owned Trials for this challenge then they lost out in terms of value.

        • Cap’n Franky

          I had to buy cloning Clyde and already own trials so I basically paid 400 msp for some minecraft skins.

          Yes I got cloning Clyde but with titles like the walking dead for 400 points an episode, and with the amount of time cloning Clyde has been out I hardly got a bargin did I…

          • http://twitter.com/toythatkills mAtt

            The length of time Cloning Clyde has been out doesn’t make it any less good. It’s one of my favourite games on XBLA, still, and if you didn’t think it was worth 400pts then it was foolish to buy it with the risk that you’d win something you didn’t want. If you won two games you owned already you’d be in an even worse position. It was 800pts when I bought it, IIRC, and I’d pay that again.

            Nobody made you buy it!

            I’m sure you can find someone who’ll trade 400MSP for Trials, though, so you can easily end even.

    • Roku750

      I was definitely expecting actual games due to the wording, so I’m a bit disappointed. If they want to avoid this kind of confusion, they should tell us what the prizes will be up-front or just give us MSP to buy whatever games/skins/whatever we want.

  • http://twitter.com/Grant__Houghton 69

    i never got a code sent to my gt

    • Roku750

      They’re probably still giving codes out. I haven’t received mine yet either.

      • http://twitter.com/Grant__Houghton 69

        Still haven’t got it

  • Anonymous

    Trials Evolution and Minecraft skins is disappointing. I already own both Trials HD and Evolution and took the “Game” part literally. I didnt expect Minecraft skins. I thought the challenge would be fun so I bought both Eets and Cloning Clyde. Eets was a pretty disappointing game. So in the end, if I can trade Trials Evolution and the skins for 1 game I want somehow with someone, maybe I break out even in terms of points I spent. I just found this site and saw last week’s prize of Spelunky and Magic 2013 and thought it’d be something similar as I don’t have either. Ah well, lesson learned I guess, I knew there would be the chance I’d end up with 2 games I already had, but I think I actually ended up with less.

  • Lethal D

    i’m not happy with minecraft skins ( i dont even own minecraft ) it states 2 xbla game codes. I had to buy eets to complete this challenge. I would have been happy if it was minecraft instead of the skins. Not Happy
