This is the winter portion of the world's foremost amateur sports competition, matching skills against the top athletes from one hundred countries.

Review Impossible Mission II (Virtual Console / Commodore 64)
Elvin Atombender is up to his old tricks again!
As soon as Impossible Mission II loads up, the improvements are immediate and obvious. The producers clearly went to work on almost every aspect of the original game, polishing, adding and fixing until this sequel was the result. There are no great changes to the concept; players familiar with the...
Review Last Ninja 3 (Virtual Console / Commodore 64)
Epic fail...
Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that we have revised this review in light of the game-breaking bug which prevents the player from progressing beyond level one in the game.

News Kaasa Interview - Commodore 64 on Wii Virtual Console
Bringing the mighty breadbox to the Wii
If we had reported back in 2006 that the Virtual Console would ever play host to a series of Commodore 64 games we might have been branded as crazy. Heck, some of our readers are too young to know what this home computer was, some even questioned if the beloved breadbox was a competitor of the Nintendo 64!...
