Earlier this year, fans took to Twitter to reminisce over the classic Xbox 360 days. Today, the community is diving into something a little more niche, as many are sharing their love for classic Xbox 360 Arcade games.
The conversation seemed to stem from Twitter users sharing the consoles they grew up with, but the conversation quickly steered towards an array of smaller titles that many felt fond of. Titles such as Happy Wars, Dorito's Crash Course and Hydro Thunder Hurricane have all dominated the space as fans have bathed in the nostalgia.
Looking through the trending topic on Twitter also greeted us with a heartwarming moment, as one dad introduced his four-year-old daughter to Sonic on the Xbox 360.
While the indie scene is huge today, it's important to look back at some of these titles that perhaps paved a way for their popularity. We hold many nostalgic memories towards some of these titles, especially Dorito's Crash Course and its sequel.
Video games are great.

I remember a card-based Panzer General game on X360 Arcade.
Boom Boom Rocket and Feeding Fish Frenzy, Castle Crashers and Limbo were some of the best games on that system period, let alone just Xbox Arcade and Indie games
I still revisit titles like Hexic HD, Marble Blast Ultra, Marathon Durandal, the Penny Arcade games, and Doritos Crash Course.
I've still got my digital copies of Smash TV and Geometry Wars. Literally from 360 day of release. Happy memories.
@AhabSpampurse =(
Had no idea Smash TV was on 360. I've been waiting for it to pop up on something for a very long time.
@NotoriousWhiz I'm pretty sure that Smash TV is on that midway arcade origins collection that was given away as a GwG a month or two ago
First thing I did once I got my XSX was download Doritos Crash Course and Harm’s Way.
@ralphdibny I see. Thanks. I also realize that I now meant super smash tv.
@NotoriousWhiz no worries, did you manage to claim it when it was available? The physical can be picked up for pennies over here in the UK, hopefully it's the same in the US if you didn't manage to grab the digital
I didn't know there was a difference between smash TV and super smash TV, I thought it just got called Super when it got ported to the super nintendo
That midway origins has got the very similar Total Carnage too which I admittedly don't have as fond memories of as I do SmashTV but it's still good
Reject ID@Xbox, return to XBLA!
@ralphdibny Nope, somehow I missed it. =(
Also just realized that Smash TV is exactly what I'm looking for. Never played total carnage but when I was looking through the screen shots, I saw screenshots of Total Carnage and I thought that was Smash TV.
I guess I'll wait for a sale then for the midway origins collection.
@NotoriousWhiz ah lame well best of luck with it!
Remember that Midway is owned by Warner Bros these days so hopefully it pops up in one of the fairly frequent Warner Bros sales!
I probably put 500 hours into Texas Hold 'Em, the servers were populated for years!
I used to have a lot of fun with friends on a game called Small Arms, XBLA Smash Brothers clone. Although the sniper pig was so OP we banned him 🤣
@ralphdibny @NotoriousWhiz Super Smash TV was just a port of Smash TV on SNES where everything got the word Super attached to their title
Total Carnage is a spiritual secessor to Smash TV. Alot.of the same people.worked on both games.
Still have Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Still play it.
We need a next-gen Hydrothunder.
I grabbed Daytona USA recently. Sega Saturn classic Guardian Heroes is 50% off now too. Seeing all these XBLA retro classics still available in 2021 and BWC makes me so happy. ☺️❤️
@NotoriousWhiz also, Xenogenesis is a GP title that is reeeeally similar with modern day bells and whistles. If you haven't already, give it a punt.
@SacredPYRO aw man I loved Small Arms. All this reminiscing means I'm gonna have to pop my 360 out of mothballs soon.
@NotoriousWhiz If you claimed Midway Arcade Treasures recently with Games with Gold it's on there
Marble Blast Ultra for me. What a tremendous game, the ball physics are still the best I've ever seen and I could control that thing beautifully. Still haven't got all the eggs though !
