Amiga CD32



"Have you got what it takes?"

The Amiga CD32 was Commodore's third attempt at entering the console market. It is pretty much a CD-based console version of the Amiga 1200.

Unlike their previous attempts, this time they had some success: it was a hit in the United Kingdom, even beating the Mega-CD as the best-selling CD-based console. However, its library was underwhelming, and the hardware was not too impressive when the actual next generation was just around the corner (the far more 3D-capable 3DO and Jaguar came out in the US just a couple of months afterwards). And as a fatal blow, a patent kerfuffle prevented the system's American release. Soon, Commodore's financial situation was too dire and they were forced to close their doors for good.

Most of its small library is pure shovelware, though there are some good games, including conversions from the original Amiga.
