Amiga CD32

The Amiga CD32 was a 32-bit CD-ROM based game console. It was launched at the Science Museum in London, United Kingdom on 16 July 1993. The CD32 was based on Commodore's Amiga A1200 computer. It was essentially an A1200 without a keyboard, floppy drive, mouse, or monitor, that was housed in a different enclosure.

The CD32 could be enhanced using these devices: ProModule, Paravision SX-1 and DCE SX-32 (which optionally includes 68030 CPU).

[collapse collapsed title=read more...]

Those devices extended the capability of Amiga CD32, allowing it to utilize hardware such as an external 3.5" floppy disk drive, hard disk and IBM PC keyboard. An Amiga CD32 could be turned into a de facto Amiga 1200 via the addition of 3rd party packages. The SX-1 appeared to have been designed around Commodore's mechanical specs and not the actual production units – it did not fit very well and required an internal 'modification' to fit properly. Consequently, the SX-1 could be jarred loose if the console was not handled gently. The upgraded SX-32 expansion pack (which included a 68030 25MHz processor) solved these problems.

CDs created for the CD32 conform to ISO 9660 level2, mode1, although the Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions are not compatible.

At launch the CD32 was bundled with two games, 'Diggers', a new game from Millennium Interactive, and 'Oscar' from Flair. The CD32 was capable of running most of the titles developed for the Amiga CDTV multimedia device (differences in CPU speed and Kickstart version prevented some of the earlier CDTV titles from running).

The console is widely regarded as unsuccessful, with Commodore filing for Chapter 11 just a year after its release. One possible reason for this was the relative lack of original games developed for the machine. Most CD32 titles were simply A1200 games on a CD, with the occasional full motion video sequence or CD audio tracks added on.

However, a large fanbase carried over from the success of other Amiga computers, and several notable titles, such as Microcosm, Liberation: Captive 2, Simon the Sorcerer and Super Stardust prevented the console from sliding into total obscurity.

Fortunately, our sleepwalker has a courageous canine companion who will try his utmost to protect his master from coming to any harm - Lee's faithful mutt, Ralph. Lee's four legged friend is zapped, bashed, clobbered, pummelled, singed and squashed, but nothing will stop him from performing his dedicated duty, (although the odd fire hydrant may distract him) it's all par for the course of a night errand

Speedball 2. A violent quasi legal future sport with one rule, slam a solid steel ball into your opponent's goal. The only thing tougher than the brutal blood sport is the thugs that play it. And they don't come any tougher than Brutal Deluxe, new faces at the bottom of the league, thirsty for blood and hungry for success.

What has begun as a straight forward quest to banish the shapeshifter witch and free the good wizard Calypso, has become hideously strange. Only this morning I was eaten by an amphibian whose table manners were quite appalling. And if that wasn't a sufficiently inconvenient start to the day, within minutes I was leered at by a rock that flatly refused to say a word!
