I am a big fan of Joust and Paperboy and found out there were Xbox Live Arcade versions of these games.

However, I found out that the games have been delisted from the Xbox Marketplace. I was wondering if there was a way to play/purchase delisted Xbox Live Arcade games if they haven't been bought yet so a player can still get achievements.

Delisted Xbox Live Arcade games can only be accessed if they've already been purchased under your account. In that case, they can be re-downloaded by going back through your Purchase History.

Outside of that, if you haven't purchased a game yet and it's been delisted, there's no way to get it.

    A shame that this is true. Although there are still plenty of games available, and the ones that have been de-listed you probably already have, or never wanted anyway, right?

    Has this been confirmed? Can you really re-download a delisted game if you've deleted it from your hard drive?
