Actually Comodore on numerous occasions would package software with it's computers to aid sales. CliMate, Wordsworth, Ports of Call and oh at least 10 or 12 others were packaged with 2000s, 500s, 1200s and others. Of couse at the time they were considered contemporary programs. If KMOS/Hyperion/Amiga whatever licensed/purchased the original code to some of the more popular Amiga programs and then ported them to OS4 as well as improving them in some way, that might just boost sales.
Lemmings, Deluxe Paint, Deluxe Music, Wordsworth and others that you can think of, coded for fast PPC processors and tweaked for todays standards (Surround Sound, HDTV, XVGA, Online play/posting) would rock even today.
I mean if people are buying XP compatible versions of Pacman, retro is popular enough for a pretty widespread niche market. Anyway, these companies aren't making any money on their code as it is, so a deal tied to sales of Amiga OS4 or to PPC computers could put some money in their pockets without being too onerous to (whomever).
This bring me back to where Ted Turner really made his millions. He bought up the rights, the libraries, film vaults, whatever of cash strapped movie studios who thought that _nobody_ would ever want to see 30s/40s/50s/60s movies . And then between specialty cable outlets and Video sales, Turner cleaned up. While Nintendo jealously guards Mario and Donkey Kong and have learned to sell and promote them through more modern consoles and other media, and comic book producers jealously guard their rights to Spiderman, Superman, Batman, etc., there is an extremely wide swath of games originally put out for Amiga, Atari, Coleco, Dreamcast and Sega that have not been exploited or renewed in any meaningful way. The hardware agnostic ideas of Amiga DE and perhaps the rights to the first six months only on Amiga could prove pretty powerful. :idea: To someone with imagination anyway (and a good bit of spare cash) :-D
