This must be very exciting for him, and I'm glad for that. I have been a professional software developer for more than 30 years, and I remember the Commodore brand very well as a child. I only feel nostalgia for the brand, and that's it. As a computing platform, it is unusable and borderline nightmarish by today's standards. Even as a hobbyist platform, there are more modern options.
I'll be very curious to see what comes of this, but if they will just be releasing flavors of MorphOS on x86 hardware, or c64 clones, I'll probably pass.
I hope I'm wrong, but I need more than 'I love Commodore so much, I bought it.'

Re: Limited Run Games Is Resurrecting Two More Games From The Night Trap Developer, Digital Pictures
Oh, wow. Are you telling me that I can pay money for really bad games that I have to wait a year after purchase for? Where do I sign up?
I bet they also resurrect their CD burner when these titles are resurrected.
Re: Limited Run Games CEO Obtains Rights To Several FMV Games By Night Trap Dev Digital Pictures
Great. I can't wait to be given the opportunity to preorder a bad game, then be given a CD-r burn of the game a year later.
