Speaking of Nintendo, the CES witnessed the typical Nintendo fortress
this year with many of its 3rd party developers occupying a significant
portion of the floor around it.  The interesting thing I thought was
many of the new video titles I saw this year were old games put in
Nintendo format.  In fact some games were almost 8 years old (M.U.L.E.
for example)!  I find it interesting that all those good-ol games that
we started out playing on the Apple 2's and Atari's years ago are
coming back to be resold to the next generation of kids who think these
are the latest in computer games.  Of course there were noticibly more
3D games now that everyone has gone to 16 bit.  But for the most part
side-view-jump-and-shoot-em-up games seem to be predominant.

I wonder if anyone will ever bring back Star Raiders?
