The Commodore brand is returning to the videogame world as Commodore Gaming, which is focusing on building high-end gaming PCs.

The company is to unveil its first range of machines at the CeBIT show which takes place on Germany on March 15. Attendees will be able to "play the high performance purpose-built machines with the latest PC games", it's stated.

"We are privileged and excited to bring the Commodore brand back to the gaming community and mark a new chapter in its history with this exceptional machine. We're sure that it will deliver what gamers need and want", Bala Keilman, CEO for Commodore Gaming, has commented.


I can't wait to see what kind of systems the new Commodores will be operating under, I think we can expect them to have the 8800GTS or GTX as they are High End Systems but I wonder what Processor Commodore will be favouring, whether they will stay with the ConRoe and AMD X2 or start using the Core 2 Duo and the AMD Quad FX.

Yes. So I'm guessing it'll be just like another company like Alienware and Falcon, perhaps?

The only thing is, the Commodore brand has been bought and sold at least a dozen times the last 20+ years and even Gateway owned it for a while iirc, so who knows what/who will bring out of this.

If EA renamed EALA "Westwood", would anyone really call it Westwood? This roughly the same thing.

1. Build generic overpriced high end gaming computers.
2. Purchase the rights to a once great computer brand.
3. Profit!
Ever wanted to play EaW/FoC on Linux? Well, now you can!
