Tulip made headlines among Commodore computer enthusiasts when it acquired the Commodore brand name in September 1997, and made headlines again in 2003 and 2004 when it tried to grab a share of the games and entertainment markets with Commodore-branded products. After supposedly making some headway in the market, it sold the Commodore name to Yeahronimo Media Ventures for ?22 million http://www.theregister.com/2004/12/29/tulip_sells_commodore/. Negotiations began in late 2004; the transaction was completed in March 2005.
