Troels_E ---- I know one slightly similar case that had worked somewhat. Some old Matte Intellivision games have been licensed/ported to mobile phones and I think they have not been worst sellers either. But beoynd those I can't remember any successfull 8-bit revival. (*)
Personally I think Tulip is like SCO ... a dying company desperately trying to hang whatever they have and suing others to squeeze some cash to keep afloat. Funny thing is Tulip has no self made technoloy, they just purchased old name and are plannin to use 3rd party emulator to make it all work.

(*) And before someone points out.. Yes.. Mattel was actually 16 bit console.. But it was launched on 8bit era (well before C64)...
