If a batch of screenshots are to believed, Dreamcast and Xbox Live arcade fans are in for a crazy ride. Unverified screenshots show that one of the system’s staples – along with a host of other as-yet unannounced arcade classics will be hitting Microsoft’s game service.
If you’ve never owned a Dreamcast, or played the arcade original, you ought be keen to jump in to a Crazy Taxi should the game find its digital distribution feet.
Crazy Taxi joins Sonic Adventure and Marvel vs Capcom 2 as ports of Dreamcast games ported to the Xbox 360. Screenshots over at Digiex include a game we’ve been waiting for for what seems like forever – Quake Arena Arcade. Other games shown include SNK games King of Fighters 2002, Metal Slug XX and Battle Coliseum.
Crazy Taxi with achievements sounds like a whole bunch of nostalgic fun right there – but what I really want is Jet Set Radio. Still Dreamcast games should work really well on the 360. The 360’s controller is pretty much a streamlined, evolved version of the Dreamcast’s – only with a much, much worse D-Pad.

@Mitas – I do indeed, although the lens is starting to give in, and the lid of the CD tray has seen better days. My old PSOne (the original big grey brick) is still working too, been playing Colony Wars on it the last few weeks.
