C64 comes to Virtual Console

Well, we've had a nostalgic day so far and here's the perfect icing on the retro gaming cake: Nintendo has announced that a selection of classic Commodore 64 titles will be coming to Wii's Virtual Console.

The first titles to make the transition will be Archer MacLean's legendary fighting game, International Karate, and Andrew Braybrook's top-down shooter, Uridium. More will follow.

So, come on, give us your Top Five wishlist (imagining for a second that you haven't already got all these on a PC/PDA/mobile C64 emulator). Try to go for titles that haven't been re-made every year (Bobble Bubble, Boulderdash, etc) and that you genuinely think you would still play and enjoy.

Here are mine:

1. Paradroid - absolutely timeless. 2. Bruce Lee - I don't care if it's rubbish now. 3. Skool Daze - "Please sir, I cannot tell a lie..." 4. Alien - really scary. 5. Zoids - brilliant proto-RTS.
