Uridium was a great game.

I'd like to see the Epyx Games titles (Summer, WInter, California, World)

Impossible Mission, Spy vs. Spy, Boulder Dash, Ghostbusters.

And one for the memories - B.C. Bill (loved that game when I was a kid!)

C64 was cool but what about the master system .... many great games with many great memories.... im certain that virtual console games wouldnt be at all expensive or difficult to get up and running i certainly they dont forget this fine era in the time line of video games

I am glad that Nintendo are catering for the older gamers out there by letting them experience once more the games that got the ball rolling. And also by letting a new generation experience them, although I can see many looking at the graphics and going

OMG wot crap graphics!

I sure hope they are cheap, maybe 100 Wii points would be a reasonable estimate.

I loved my commodore 64, but time and technology has spoiled me. I don't know if my senses can take such a archaic, pixelated assault.

If you read a bit about it, EPYX are going to update the graphics for the games they bring to the VC.

Racing Destruction Set and Wonderboy please

I got my first taste of VC yesterday (wireless net at Dads place) - I reckon I'm going to spend more these old games than new releases...

The thing is, some games will amaze you "wow - how did they do THAT on the 64?". Fire up Armalyte for a start....slick smooth baddies everywhere, two player ... even the detail on flying debris ... I was playing it just a few days ago
