Commodore goes virtual console

While the games so far have only been console titles, it was recently announced that Commodore Gaming would begin releasing its titles onto the Virtual Console to the delight of retro gamers around the world. The premiere titles appearing on the Virtual Console are Uridium, a sci-fi horizontal shooter, and International Karate. This may satisfy fans of the system for the time being, but the true hope is to see titles like M.U.L.E., Little Computer People (which was a precursor for The Sims) and classics like Zork and its sequels.

No other titles have been announced to date but a sigh of relief has been released around the world with the possibility of more great games to come.
