Commodore to release 'new breed of gaming PCs'

THE INHERITOR of the Commodore computing name is set to release what it calls a 'new breed' of gaming PCs.

For those of us who can remember the days when Commodore owners used to laugh at their poor friends who were stuck with green screen PCs, the thought of PC and Commodore appearing on the same box is alarming.

Commodore Gaming is set to release its new range at CeBIT on March 15 and the company is keeping the lid on what it is going to show off. If you go to the company web page, you can see the iconic space invader announcing that it is coming and nothing else.

Reading between the lines, these will just be purpose built PCs under the old Commodore badge, so it will be nothing to see here, move on please.

However in February last year Commodore Gaming was running around the 3GSM mobile conference in Barcelona inking deals with the likes of Telcogames. Then it was talking about some form of mobile games gear using digital content touch screens. That would be a little more interesting. µ
