I do, but not so into the $10 for a download love. $5 I'd take a lot more chances with but $10 is just expensive enough that I'd really have to hear amazing things about it or REALLY want it (MM9, Bionic Rearmed). If they tossed it on the DS and I could get it used for $10 I'd be more inclined. Galaga was an excellent game, still fun today if you play it today.

A lot of those older arcade games that were solid really hold their appeal IMO. Look how awesome the Pac-Man Championship Edition was. 1942 and Commando 3 are along the same lines, a little too expensive for mediocrity but would be fun for an updated nostalgic romp

It's the TRUE sequel.
