Commodore, the company that sold 2.5 million VIC-20's and 25 million Commodore 64's was reduced to bankruptcy less than ten years after it released the computer that was supposed to revolutionize the computer industry, the Amiga. Read the history of Commodore at Braeburn.

The article isn't complete without mentioning this, so I'll mention it here: The C64 was re-done by Jeri Ellsworth as a single chip FPGA design. This was turned into a custum IC, packed into a joystick(!) together with 30 classic games, and marketed commercially as the "Commodore 64 DTV".
I don't know exactly how Tulip is connected to this (other than by obtaining the Commodore trademark, as the article mentions), but anyway, here's some links for your clicking pleasure:
