nathanallan Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I hope they don't fudge it. It'll be neat to have a Commodore branded something hanging around... wait, I have that already! Something newer than a Vic 20 would be nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 The article doesn't go into much detail, it just says they're making "gaming PCs"... Are they just going to be Commodore-branded Windows PCs, or something more Amiga-like? (Probably a dumb question... even Apple is making Wintel PCs now...)

Beetle Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 No, not Wintel, but OSXtel PCs They don't install Windows yet, nor is OSX Win based. Luckily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 No, not Wintel, but OSXtel PCs They don't install Windows yet, nor is OSX Win based. Luckily. Actually. If Vista was OSX based, I wouldn't have bought it Commodore intends to sell Hi End Gaming PC's. So no one may expect a revolutionary "SID" in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay2068 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I guess that means they will be like (or compete with) alienware That's what I was thinking also. They should just buy the guts from Dell/Alienware and slap a Commie label/case on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lange Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 There is more information on Gamasutra about the Commodore branded high-end gaming PC. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=13148 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastRobPlus Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If they were gonna paint flowers all over it why did they change thier name from Tulip to Commodore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I sent them an email asking if they were gonna release a retro-type machine for enthusiasts. Hopefully it'll catch their ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetmark Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) So, they are making windows based computers with a commie label. Wow, how original! I guess nothing has changed at commodore; Repackaging someone elses technology and calling it new! If they were anymore creative we could call them Microsoft!

I actually got what seemed like a personalized response: Date: 3/16/2007 6:43:44 PM Central Standard Time From: m.kroder@commodoregaming.com (Michiel Kroder) To: Dkassandra4@wmconnect.com Hello Nathan, Thank you for your interest! No retro computer in the planning, but we are looking into other channels to distribute our classic games with. Best regards, Michiel Kroder I'm kinda scared about what "other channels" he means. I say again, I hopethey don't fudge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Got a second email (I missed this from another email account) from Mr. Kroder: Subject: RE: more info? Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 20:38:41 +0100 From: "Michiel Kroder" <m.kroder@commodoregaming.com> Alert To: "rollmeupatwenty" <rollmeupa20@yahoo.com> Hello Nathan, Thank you for your interest! It's always good to be in touch with real Commodore fans. As of right now we are not publishing any games ourselves. Rather, we are launching a line of high end purpose-built gaming PCs... With some extra surprises that come with it, some of it very Retro. All will be revealed next week at the CeBIT convention in Hanover, Germany. I can keep you updated if you like? Best regards, Michiel Kroder P.S. I do like your idea of doing something on a handheld level. ________________________________ Commodore Gaming BV Hessenbergweg 111, 1101 BS, Amsterdam - The Netherlands Michiel Kroder Content Manager Tel: +31 (0)20 3113 550 Fax: +31 (0)20 3113 572 m.kroder@commodoregaming.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
