Home computer nerds will be dancing in the streets at this latest piece of VC news. We have it on the highest authority that Commodore 64 games will soon be coming to the Virtual Console.
Although no specific titles were named, the indications so far are of titles from now defunct U.S. developer Epyx who are best known for their work on the 8-bit Commodore 64 home computer. Epyx also designed the prototype Lynx console for Atari as well as several of its games.
It is likely that classic Epyx titles like California Games, Summer Games, Impossible Mission, and Jumpman, will be first to make an appearance on the VC.
