Super Ghouls and Ghosts, which first saw the light of day on the Super Nintendo back in 1992, returns and can be bought for 800 Wii points. You play Knight Arthur, who is on a mission to rescue his special lady friend Princess Prin Prin from the Ghouls. We are sure that the knight often ended playing most of the game in his undies!

If you are less flush, 500 Wii points will get you that classic shoot 'em up game Galaga. Which we recall being available on the archaic game console Atari 2600. The game revolves around controlling a spaceship and battling insect-like alien swarms. Different aliens carry different points and players only get to the next level by wiping out an entire swarm.

There is also up for download Double Dungeons, available for 600 Wii points (no we haven't heard of it either - maybe we were out on our bikes that day or something). The game was first seen 17 years ago and allows players to venture through 22 dungeons.

In the two player game the screen is split in two so each player can go through the dungeons separately killing goblins, orcs, etc., and earning gold and experience. The gold can be used to buy food and stay at inns. Experience points raise the player's level making them more powerful. Of course, it wouldn't be a patch on World of Warcraft!
