Commodore 64 Titles Join Wii's Virtual Console

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-grandpa's-videogames dept.

TechDock writes "Gamasutra reports that several Commodore 64 games will be emulated on the Wii's virtual console." From the article: "Although no specific titles were named, the only indications so far are of titles from now defunct U.S. developer Epyx, maker of the likes of Impossible Mission and the Summer/Winter/World/California Games series. Best known for their work on the 8-bit Commodore 64 home computer, Epyx also designed the prototype Lynx console for Atari as well as several of its games." I'm thinking we need Ghostbusters, Defenders of the Crown, Maniac Mansion, and (of course) Boulder Dash.

      Maybe the Wii controller will have
      a slot where you can put a fastload
      cartridge in it, for a 2 key shortcut
      to LOAD "*",8,1

    If Mail Order Monsters was rereleased as an online game would it be MOMMMORG? Where can I buy one?
