This week Pac-Man makes a welcome return in Pac-Attack originally released on Super Nintendo in 1993. The aim of the game is simple: keep your screen clear of falling blocks and ghosts by eating them! And boy is Pac-Man hungry, as he will keep eating until he hits a dead end. Download this fun and quirky classic for 800 Wii Points.
Next up this week, will you have what it takes to destroy the Enemy Generators and defeat the Menon Guardians in Sega Mega Drive’s 1992 game Super Fantasy Zone™? Help Opa-Opa in his mission to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the evil Dark Menon. Eliminating your enemies will let you rack up gold, which you can use to buy even better weapons, upgrades and other equipment. Spend your gold wisely as each boss will present you with a different challenge. Super Fantasy Zone™ can be yours for 800 Wii Points.
Switch from guns to claws, as King of the Monsters, the action game featuring mighty battles between giant monsters, previously unleashed onto the NEOGEO in 1991 is now available to download on Wii.

And as if that wasn’t enough, disaster strikes as space pirates take over in Commodore 64’s retro, 1988 game, Cybernoid™. The dastardly fiends have stolen valuable minerals, jewels, ammunition and weaponry, and if you choose to accept your task, you must battle in your Cybernoid fighter to recover the precious cargo before time runs out for all of us! Now go, brave soldier, and outwit those pirates for 500 Wii Points!
