Funny how things come around. Tulip Computers
who hold the rights to the Commodore name have released a statement about
re-releasing the classic machine, The Commodore 64. The statement link is
below and rather vague about just what they are releasing. Is it a
new C64 computer complete with joystick and god forbid, a C2N cassette
recorder? Darren Melbourne, Creative Director,
Ironstone Partners commented, “ The license deal with Tulip is a huge
breakthrough for the millions of C64 enthusiasts and retro gamers around the
world who are still loyal to this incredible games system. Ironstone is
committed to bringing this technology and games library back to prominence on
every platform available to us.”
The website states the word emulator about a bit too much and as
we all know emulated re-released machines have not as yet made the grade
like the Atari 10 in 1. PnP hope they release a machine that accepts
floppies to play the games on. or at least a c64 machine complete with
keyboard with loads (and we mean loads!) of games built in. but we wait
and it least it means one thing.....The Commodore is coming home.
