So, aparently a few C64 games will be hoping on the Virtual Console bandwagon!

I'm curious to see if these games will actually be emulated or just rewritten. It seems like a lot of work to write a whole C64 emulator just for 6-8 Epyx titles. Even if they ARE emulated, it'll be interesting to see what corners they cut (or maybe they'll just steal VICE (http://viceteam.org/)).

Nintendo has proven their emulation abilities with the NES games in Animal Crossing, and the N64 games in the Gamecube Zelda collection, but I'm somewhat skeptical about how good their emulation of the other consoles will be. Hopefully there will be a system in place to upgrade the emulation as time goes on.

That being said, I loved Gateway to Apshai and Impossible Mission.

Oops, very sorry, I should have used the search first.

I guess that means lock 'er up!
