A triple whammy of 500 Wii Point games this week, starting with the Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog, from the days when the world loved and respected Sonic the Hedgehog. With the Mega Drive/Genesis version already available on the Virtual Console for 300 Points more, we suspect the Master System edition is for either Sonic completists or cheapskates. We fit both categories.Then there are a couple of ye olde classics from the Commodore 64: Boulder Dash and Jumpman. The name "Jumpman" is coincidental, by the way, though the game is probably similar enough to Donkey Kong to warrant suspicion.
- Sonic the Hedgehog -- Master System -- 500 Wii Points
- Boulder Dash -- Commodore 64 -- 500 Wii Points*
- Jumpman -- Commodore 64 -- 500 Wii Points*
Sonic the Hedgehog (Master System)
Boulder Dash (Commodore 64) *
Jumpman (Commodore) *
* As usual, these are available in Europe only.

Ahh, I had that Sonic game on Game Gear.
I didn't play it nearly enough thanks to the battery life of that thing. =P

Sonic on Master System was a different game than on Genesis, both were good.
Boulder Dash was a very good game, I hope it turns up in the US someday. You get the same feeling when boulders are nearly falling on you as you get in Bomberman when a chain reaction of bombs is chasing you.
I never really got into Jumpman, probably since Lode Runner appealed to me so much more.

He was referring to the fact that the protagonist in Donkey Kong was named Jumpman (the Mario name came later.)
