    Oh yeah, Summer and winter games. Oil Barons, if that’s what I think it is, then I’ll be wanting that too



  2. Kaiser Soze Says:

    I think you’re right STD. Some gamers will buy it because of the VC. But honestly, do you really think it’s their security net? It’s just a cool feature, like backwards compatility. You gotta admit it’s a cool feature?



  3. STD Says:

    It’s a awesome feature! Yeah I guess your right about it being like backwards compatility. It gives gamers that safe comfort like knowing your in good hands.



  4. Zac Says:

    Wow this is awesome. It’s kinda like having a huge pile of launch titles, since I’ve played about none of these.



  5. Zac Says:

    A game is a game. That’s what I based my comparisons on. So thankyou.



  6. Jerry Butler Says:

    I would like to see project space station released. It was my favorite game for the commodore 64. I can remember playing it for years.



  7. Adam Says:

    Yeah, if they released “Project Space Station” on the Wii I’d buy the whole bloody thing tomorrow to play it. These emulated version just never work right. But that’s not an Epyx game, so it’s probably not going to happen.
