I've got a little something to add. I guess you guys know social bookmarking on sites like mister-wong and reddit can aid in recieving more backlinks, PR, and traffic. Well.. some time ago i was invited in beta-testing a new piece of software that can automatically submit websites to the highest authority social bookmarking websites. I have to say this sofware is FREAKING GREAT and saved me alot of time allready. It even solves captcha codes! The author just launched the coming-soon site@ (bookmarkwiz . com) or you can just search on google for "bookmarkwiz" to get some more info. with internet marketing and seo the key is to stay ahead of your competition.. and with soclal bookmarking automation software like this I will dominate other marketers every day! What do you guys think? Yo, peeps.. I’ve got a little something to add.

I grew up with the Commodore 64 and 128. I'd like to see the following classics: Castle Wolfenstein (the storyline that started it all for id Software) Beyond Castle Wolfenstein Raid On Bungeling Bay Spy Vs. Spy M.U.L.E (Electronic Arts ruled even in the 80's) Seven Cities of Gold (quite possibly the greatest C64 game ever) Maniac Mansion Raid Over Moscow Sword of Fargoal Temple of Apshi Might and Magic II Satan's Hollow Spy Hunter Blue Max Dark Castle Streets Sports Baseball Gamestar Baseball / Football One on One Two on Two (looked like they were playing in a high school gym) Karateka Yie R Kung Fu Who dares win two (I never understood the title) Caverns of khafka (the creepiest game ever) Defender of the Crown Commando Rambo Montezuma Gunship Red Storm Rising Platoon Robbers Summer Games I and II Winter Games California Games Hes Games World Games ...to name a few The funny thing was that we had about 200 games and 90% were cracked and copied by what seemed like companies. Loved those splash screens. This is great news. I grew up with the Commodore 64 and 128. I’d like to see the following classics:

This will also probably mean that when you're bought them, when the icon in the main Wii menu alternates between the system name and game title, it will also show as the MS. Those are just guesses based on what I've read over at VC Reviews so I might be wrong. Either way, I'm looking forward to it - I had an Atari Lynx (waaaay underrated system IMHO) so didn't play much GG, but I loved the Shinobi game. Master System fans will probably be wanting Alex Kidd, Ys: The Vanished Omens, Choplifter and the original Shinobi. Probably more, I never owned that system myself either though a lot of friends did... @scullum2001:

I'm glad that after reading mine and Paul's convo, you realized what we're talking about and decided your comment was completely out of line and unnecessary...not to mention childish and extremely rude.

I was just saying that we don't have Sega MS and GG over here in the US yet. I understand what they are. But I still don't understand the separate channel thing. They are all sold in one channel (Wii Shop). Do you mean an actual channel on the Wii or just that they are going to all be listed under the title of Sega MS on the Shop Channel? @ PaulT — Right.

It was very successful outside of the US - it actually outsold the NES in Europe - and the PC Engine/Turbografx was never released in Europe so I think this is a good thing for us over here. The Game Gear was essentially a portable Master System, sharing many of its hardware features. So, rather than create a separate channel, the VC is going to have them both in the same place. Hope this helps, VC Reviews has a more details rundown here: http://www.vc-reviews.com/systems. @scullum2001:
