Help, i really want to play this game but can't find it! i looked under R in the Game Marketplace but couldnt see it. anyone know where it is?

It got pulled months back along with a bunch of the other Midway games due to the publisher vanishing.

thank you Mayhem i heard Midway have been bought by someone so i hope they put it back up again. its always a shame when games get taken down. i heard Outrun HD is for the chop soon

Well, that's more to do with the fact that Sega's license with Ferrari runs out. Why the PSN version is gone and the 360 version is still available until the end of the year, I'm not sure. There have been more games pulled than people realise actually, for various reasons.

Like how all the DLC for the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games is gone since Acti lost the Marvel licence.

I can understand why it happens (it isn't a 'pay once, hosted forever' setup on Live or PSN) but it does show some of the drawbacks of a download only model going forward.

Robotron 2084 for XBLA

The seller claims that the code was still valid in Nov 2010 - some 9 months after it was de-listed from XBLA, plus there's positive feedback from some recent buyers. Go for it.
