Commodore Follows Up TV Game With ROM Selling

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pets-and-vic-20s dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Since Commodore recently re-appeared selling a Commodore 64 joystick 'TV game', as previously mentioned on Slashdot Games (the company is now owned by Dutch computer builder Tulip), they're now expanding their efforts, and have set up a legal emulation site where you can buy classic Commodore 64 titles, initially including Epyx and Hewson titles. Apparently, in a later stage, Commodore will release a Gentoo Linux based set top box which plays MP3s and runs Commodore 64 games."

    Since Epyx went belly up with their handheld console, they produced for Atari. Who is getting the royalties for those Epyx games sold over the net. I have sever doubts the developers of those games will see a single cent....

  2. Commodore MP3 player by hool5400 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The Commodore brand also popped up on a cheap-and-nasty MP3 player a little while back, as shown on Dan's Data.

    Apparently it's unlicenced, but certainlty a shock to the brain to see that logo on a recent product.
