Commodore Remix

AGAIN !!! fingers crossed they get it right this time.

How long? Bets are on.

about has long as a piece of string.

Sometimes it feels like it would be better to dig a deeeep hole and dunk the whole Commodore affair into it.

I mean, resurrecting the Atari brand was a success but look who was behind it.

Looking at the vultures that ripped at Commodore for the past 15 years, it's more like molesting a rotten corpse.

I would be eternally happy if the Commodore community could get a hold on the brand but that's too silly of a day dream...

Yeah, the Commodore brand is commercially jinxed. No one seems to be able to make money of it anymore.

Atari had History didn't they. I mean Atari was Huge way before commodore was ever thought about, also Atari were more known for their games first hardware and computing second.

Once Atari flopped, it was never resurected until Infogrammes took the brand. Infogrammes were then one of the biggest and most successful companies in europe at the time.

Atari has always been known as a major player in the videogame industry right from it's early days, where commodore's efforts to make games were largly laughable, they were certainly more Hardware orientated than Atari.

I see commodore and Atari has having things in common but structurely very different. Two different realms completely.

It's hardly surprising. Commodore was known for few successes and lots of failures, and only the DTV capitalised on the brand in a relevant way. All other ideas from the new version of the company have merely used old names for totally unrelated products, most of which are inferior to competing products (only a fool would pic a "VIC" MP3 player over, say, an iPod).

As for the brand itself, Ironstone did its level best to wreck that, taking a logo on a par with Apple's or Nike's and then ruining it with a bunch of sub-par 1990s Photoshop "special effects".
