Since Oregon Trail is "reportedly" coming to WiiWare, what other Apple II or DOS games would you like on WiiWare?

Hey, at least this one's original. I want Classic Civilization, or at least Civilization II, Master of Orion, some Dos Shooter, and of course Jazz Jackrabbit. X-Com might be nice, too. Oh, and Warcraft 2, Albion, and Daggerfal: Elder Scrolls 2.

As for Apple 2, all I can think of are Ultima, Might & Magic, Wizardry, Bard's Tale, and King's Quest (unplayable without a keyboard, unfortunately!).

Duke Nukem and Commander Keen. They're the only two I can remember. Asides countless rather faceless shareware DOS titles and Pac-Man clones.

Apple Cider Spider is the only one I want.

Other than Oregon Trail and Descent, which have already been announced for WiiWare (if they ever come), I guess Commander Keen would be enough for me.

Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.
...
Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

Warcraft 2 would be sooooo awesome. They need to hurry up and make a Wiiware version and release around the same time as Cataclysm.

The old SSi Dungeons and Dragons games. Wake of the Ravager especially.

I cried the day PCs got too fast for those games. I member saving for a couple of months to buy the collector's edition, which featured Wake of the Ravager, Stone Prophet, Menzoberranzan, Strahds something-or-other, an Al-Qadim Zelda improvement-clone and another game whose name I forgot.

I miss those games.

Also, bring back the old Warhammer games, as retail discs if need be. I'd love to play shadow of th horned rat again, and wiimote would be good for that.

The Apple II version of Lode Runner is so much better than the NES version already on the Virtual Console.

As for other games that don't require a keyboard, how about Choplifter?

I pretty much only played educational type games, so aside from oregon trail, there's not really much i'd want. Though some of them WERE really good for kids, so I wouldn't be sad to see things like Math Blasters, Number Muchers, etc.

What I'd really like to see are the games that came in this microsoft game pack for Windows 95. Snake, Chips Challenge, and the one with the mouse trying to get the cheese by pushing blocks (forget the name) were awesome. I'd love to see that as a compilation or even as individual 200 point games on DSiWare.

Also for Windows 95 - Gahan Wilson's Ultimate Haunted House. That game was awesome.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

I know this is another subject but if the Intellivision would be would be cool of that console made it on the virtual console.

That would be Rodent's Revenge. Those were actually Windows 3.1 games, not Windows 95. It's not too hard to track most of them down online and download them, and most of them still work on modern Windows OS's (as long as you keep the Windows 3.1 version of cards.dll in the game folder for the card games to work).

The Incredible Machine even though it would probably do better on DSiWare.

Apogee and Epic made a lot of shareware action-games that would fit well for Wii. From Duke Nukem to One Must Fall.

Also, seeing as you can install a SCUMM emulator on your hacked Wii, Lucasarts could easily re-release bunch of their adventure games. We've already seen Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis as a bonus for that new Indy game, so why not expand it? Bring in the Monkey Islands, Sam & Max, Full Throttle and both Indy's! Thats what everyone wants, right?

EDIT: Also, I think Daggerfall would be a big no for Wii. Its pretty violent and has nudity as well.

That makes it absolutely perfect for the Wii. It needs more mature games like that.
