Allow me to introduce you to the Commodore 64; this machine was released by Commodore International in August, 1982. The 8-bit home computer was an instant success, speaking of success; the Commodore 64 soon became the best-selling single personal computer of all time. The commodore even started to outsell IBM PCs and Apple computers! In total, 30 million units were sold.
Nintendo recently announced that this legendary machine will be making its way to Wii's Virtual Console. If you are familiar with the classics this machine offers, then you will recognize games like
Geoff Crammond's Sentinel,
Head Over Heels and
Jeff Minter's Attack of the Mutant Camels. While some of the first titles available will be
International Karate and
Uridium. Initially the Commodore will only be available on the European Wii Shop Channels, and the games will be priced at 500 Wii points each, which is around £3.50 for a game.

I had the Commodore 64 but can't really remember the games that much. It's good to see the VC getting more systems but they need to stop giving out only 1 or 2 per week. The 5 per week seemed to be ok and just the right balance.
I think 200 points would have been more appropriate for these titles. Most Wii fans will have to check wikipeida.org to even know what the Commodore 64 even is.
I admit I am old enough to know what it is. I loved Zorro. And the infocom games. I wonder if they will do those ones......grab a keyboard and type away!
