This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Before there was Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360, there was Xbox Live Arcade on the original Xbox. Not many games were released onto the service, and it was quickly overshadowed by the release of the Xbox 360 with its own dedicated Arcade directly integrated onto the dashboard.

To do: Possibly a build date in WMADEC/debug strings.

Unused Graphics

Some menu graphics went unused, simply because Xbox Live Arcade didn't get a lot of games.

Highlighted arrows for the main menu. There's only 8 options.

Highlights for "card & board". Only one game was released in this category, leaving these unseen.

Highlights for "social sports" that went unused for the same reason as "card & boards".

Various graphics for the "strategy & sims" section. No games were ever released under this category, leaving most of the menu prompts unseen.

Leftovers for what seems to be an early version of the main menu. The arrows are blue, and the A button prompt is longer. There's also a gray version of this prompt.

Various gray prompts and arrows. The X prompt can be seen in early footage whenever a demo wasn't available. The purpose for the other prompts is unknown.
