I've just noticed the Rebellion shop is selling "Paradroid" and "Zynaps" t-shirts: (Click here)

Does that mean they own the rights to these classic 8-bit games?  If so, when did that happen?

Looking around, it appears Rebellion has owned this back catalogue for some time. There's something online about how

Quote'Rebellion is delighted to be working with Ironstone on breathing new life into our Hewson 'golden age of gaming' back catalogue.' Says Jason Kingsley from Rebellion 'Ironstone have some exciting projects in hand and together we will bring some of the best titles to a new generation of game players, and remind a few older gamers just how challenging some of the old games were.'

I wonder if Rebellion therefore owns other IP, such as the old Epyx games. That'd explain the 'usual suspects' nature of C64 game licensing, with the same titles showing up again and again (eg on 'TheC64' and then on the recent Evercade carts).
