A zappy Zapper is officially an Xbox Original

by Dustin Burg { Nov 17th 2008 at 3:30PM }

As promised, the classic and wicked cricket Zapper has made its way to the Xbox Live Marketplace as a 1200 Microsoft point Xbox Original title. Blitz Games' 599MB Zapper includes eighteen levels spread across four worlds with one final boss that's oh so intimidatingly named Maggie. Exciting stuff.

Warning to those who love themselves scrolling credits, because Microsoft warns that the Xbox Originals version of Zapper suffers from "minor graphical corruption occurs in the End Credits" which "causes some of the end credits to appear cut off." End credits being cut off? Seriously, what has the world come to?

seriously?

I'm glad this game finally came to Xbox Originals. Tracking down a physical copy is not unlike searching for the Ark of the Covenant.

When will we be seeing gamerpics and themes for Zapper? Do you guys have a Zapper skinned 360 to give away?

Microsoft's answer to LittleBigPlanet is...Zapper!

Zapper FTW!!!

Who am I kidding?

God forbid anyone nowadays actually sitting through credits as a decent gesture of respect to people who worked on a project.

I know you must have miraculous uses for those three or four minutes you've saved ... like I dunno, complaining about how unappreciated you are at your job, or as a human being in general.

Yeah. Let that sink in.

This is a joke right? You really think that wasting 5 minutes of your life watching text scroll by is a sign of respect towards the people who made the game?

Shouldn't buying the game in the first place count?

Watching the credits would imply that someone not only purchased the game but also spent the time to beat it. Ha.

not even a gigabyte.. wtf.. I got Ninja Gaiden & Psychonauts, both are above 5GB..
For a game so small, & unheard of.. why should I care..

This was one of the first games for the last generation if I'm not mistaken. It was when we still had Blue disc that wouldn't run in half the manufactured PS2s and my friend's copy wouldn't run on mine. How could you forget about that? it was only 7 years ago.
