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."

    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.
