Commodore in 1994 crashed and burned. Once a home computing giant throughout the United States and Europe, the company was taken back by mistake and wrong fires. Carcass was stacked cleanly and repeatedly recreated the pieces, but with each new owner, the famous C = logo on any old junk came inevitable trying to make a quick bucket.
The brand brand followed in horror as the brand appeared on the web’s-in-one PC Commodore smartphone. There was even a commutor branded split. So the retro game YouTerper Christian “Perifractic” Simpson They announced that the remaining things left from Commodore and give a new life, questions were asked. Among them: Need Commodore in the world yet?
At 64 years old
Commodore was first aimed at brand and calculators as a brand, but his glory came with the rise of Micros, the commodore was rapidly re-born as an international billing.
The biggest success was 64th 64, which hit a sweet spot between favorable and potential. A cpu, slow, strong graphics and a surprisingly skillful sound chip (today remains respected), creates creativity on both sides of Atlantic. More than 5,000 commercial games were released during the car rifle and sold more than 15 million units, one of the only computer models of C64 still selling the most sold.
This aims to revive Mircca Simpson. Initially, he changed licensing deals with commodore brand owners, “official” boards and substitute components, as part of community friendly conglomerate. These plans have provided an agreement to get a commodore for the amount of snowballs and Simpson, the “lower seven-digit” amount during discussions.

But where things are becoming more difficult. Simpson does not have a true original company, because this company does not have any longer. Commodore’s division of the 1990s, current iteration has a number of trademarks, but the necessary parts of the ecosystem remain scattered.

Computers for masses
For these reasons, Simpson walks a lot of types. Commodore should not seize many lovers that keep the flame live and not only ensure the legitimacy of the new team. Another major puzzle pieces should cooperate closely with owners and must cooperate with the license of the Commodore brand until third parties. And the new Commodore to redeem the seven-digit amount, it is forced to sell a new device quite a new device, it also moves beyond Dwindling Core Fanatbase.
So far, Simpson’s initial game banks are not only for the C64 in Nostalgia – not for all for a period. New Commodore website The company “does in the square like a digital detox brand [that’s] grounded in digital minimalism. “Rails against social media can be praised in the 1980s in the 1980s, and it also wants to see the company as an innovation to return the company, and it results in a kind of brand whip. and original; past and will come.
