They only "lost" it because they literally couldn't afford to fight it. It wouldn't even have been a hard suit to fight, since there are plenty of previous works to demolish the patent going back to the earliest text terminals. Good thing it isn't so easy to sneak a patent for something like that through today, ha. ha. ha... *sigh*
@Brad Viviviyal oh, Atari didn't turn them down. Tramiel was on the verge of "acquiring" the tech as a result of loans and late payments, when Commodore lurched in like a drunken giraffe, bought Amiga and paid off their loans to Atari.
nice video i just picked a NTSC CD32 last week and a FMV Module from Italy that was sold as is not working, but works fine in my CD32, I originally had bought one in the US when i went to the World of Amiga show in New York i think it was on pear 99 in 1993 and when i heard Commodore went bankrupt i quickly sold it. Most people didn't know that that's where the CD32's were sold in the US i think they came in Via Canada. And now i have one once again.
The problem was an A1200 did everything a CD32 did but had a huge library of (mostly copied) disks already. There was already other consoles coming that had better 3D support.
It's the same problem that plagued every other bloody "computer to console conversion" that Commodore ever made, really. There was little scope for CD32 specific software and without a substantial userbase of it's own, publishers wouldn't dedicate the resources to even try, instead favouring slight rejigs of thieir existng Amiga software. With hindsight, they probably would have been better off releasing their cd1200 addon, but the problem with a peripherial is that you can only ever sell it to a fraction of people who are already your customers. But CD-ROM had clear value for existing amiga owners whereas the CD32's value proposition was fairly suspect for new customers.
There were a lot of CD32 titles in development that simply didn't see the light of day due to the big C going bust, many were apparently CD32 specific making full use of the system (Akkiko chip) and CD-Rom, shame we never actually got to see them.
@@xubidoo4415 a lot of what did get released wound up on the 1200: For example, Liberation: Captive 2, Guardian, Roadkill. It didn't take much for a lightly upgraded 1200 to outpace the CD32. A PCMCIA cdrom drive and a bit of fast ram, and the Akiko chunky to planar was easily done in software. Strip out or pare down animations, and you could often obviate the need for a CD, too. While I'm sure many titles *were* cancelled, a lot would eventually see light of day on DOS CD-Rom. I think much of Cryo's PC output (Megarace, etc) was originally planned to come to CD32 as well.
The only reason people hate on the CD32 (aside from the D Pad on the controller), is because they cant find/afford one. They made 100,000 units... I have one.
Had one the SX-1 and the FMV cart, nice machine (if you were a pre existing Amiga user). It will be even better when my Amiga 1200 accelerator to CD32 adapter gets here in a few days and I plop a Vampire 1200 in there.
"I just didn't get around to doing a video until now...." Translation: "I have been having too much fun playing games on this setup for a year now and could not be bothered to make a video."
@Spooksville Scoob Although some games will have an issue with NTSCPAL the reality is that CD32 & A1200 have the ability to switch between PAL and NTSC just by holding the down the two mouse buttons on boot up. If you go the route of an Amiga OS setup, then it's done once in the OS and no need for switching. PAL vs NTSC screens however is a different thing both have different screen refresh frequencies and different resolutions (PAL having a bit slower but higher resolution) for that there are several solutions. There are the internal snap on adapters like the Individual Computers indivision card that hijacks the video signal. Alternatively use a HD video converter (external box) which allow you to use a modern LCD display neither system is perfect but they do work. Where to find an Amiga that's reasonable price! try Amibay.
Dan, so weird as I just recently got this exact setup and I've been thinking the exact same! I've got quite a few Amiga"s, but since I got my CD32 with the TF330 and riser, I've been addicted to it and it's been my first call above the others...I wasn't expecting that. I had a CD32 for Christmas at launch, but I never loved it the way I do now... With the TF330 it's brilliant 😍
Love mine, only difference is I use Workbench to load WHDLoad, i use a CDTV keyboard with an adapter and the later model black mouse - it really is the ultimate Amiga.
AVGN told me the bad side of the Amiga. (Because his job is to criticize the cons in games/consoles.) But now, this video taught me the good side of the Amiga. Guess I can feel more comfortable around the Amiga, but still know there are cons.
Great video. I was one of the doubters to my shame. CD32 was very disappointing at the time but I do appreciate that it was doomed to fail, not because of the actual machine itself, but due to other issues covered in the video. This setup does look like the best and I love the suggestion you made of using it as a developer tool, Cheers :)
I love anything Amiga, However Amiga emulation has come on a long way and I have a really nice Amiga Setup on my Raspberry Pi paired with a usb competition pro. The new WHD Load Booster (amiberry) helps auto config games to run more accurately. also my Pi boots into a workbench like a real Amiga and I use Tiny Launcher to load games. I recently picked up a Mister and playing around setting up Amiga on that.. Dont get me wrong I love original hardware and love that authentic experience but its not always possible due to rarity and expense. Amiga should be enjoyed by everyone 😀
Big Amiga fan here and yeah emu is great! I ain't got the space or cash to collect so emulation is the way for me. As long as I can play my fav Amiga games, I'm happy :)
@@danwood_uk I agree with you (plus an a fan of the podcast !) but prices are crazy in my country Australia. Cd32 listed on ebay now is $700. Even an A600 is like $400 to $700 right now. So Im sorry to say that at this point, it the raspberry pi for me (same story goes for he c64, I purchased an ultimate 64 and its great)
@@Lucasrainford Not saying it's wrong emulating, I just think a big part of the fun is making the old hardware work as it should, and to improve it. I have all my old computers, from the C64 from 1983 and onward. They're a big part of my life and keeping them alive and working is like keeping myself alive.
Yes back in the good old days when Amiga hardware was dirt cheap and you could pick up something like a A3000/A4000 for £200, my A4000T which I purchased on eBay in 2007 was £250, and further back in 2005 I won a fully loaded A4000 with CyberStormPPC, CybervisionPPC, and Toccata sound card for £320 which looking back was madness. These Amiga's tho were vastly undervalued, I remember sending some A4000 stuff to France for repair, and it was actually much cheaper just to buy replacement motherboards and parts of eBay so at least two of my A4000's ended up in the bin.
Unfortunately the rise of RU-vid sparked the interest of collecting to a lot more people that before. Suddenly NES games that cost $5 now go for $100 and consoles that were deemed a joke suddenly cost more than successful ones. I bought a Virtual Boy with Mario Tennis for like $25 back in 2007 and after a couple of videos (on of those probably being the one from AVGN) suddenly the console costs multiple times that. I refused to buy an Atari Jaguar for $80 because I thought it was too expensive and suddenly its price skyrocketed. Its good that retro gaming survives but the raise in interest also brought in the scalpers. It's not easy being a collector anymore.
8:32 I've got the same pad for my SNES and the 4 buttons were disabled because the turbo switches and copper springs broke. I tried superglue but instead had to bypass each switch with a flat bit of solder between some PCB pads, so it at least works in normal mode now.
Great video Dan. Like yourself I'm a massive fan of the CD32 and have been fighting its corner since 1993. Microcosm was one of those games I dragged friends round to see to prove my console can do FMV too! I really don't understand the hate some people put onto the wee console, it is the ultimate Amiga gaming system especially with the TF cards. Just sits so much better in front of the TV than a wedge computer. I noticed on your sysinfo that the result was around 7 mips? Or at least that's what I think I read from the screen. You might still be on the original firmware and a quick update should see around 9.5 mips. Temptingly close to 10 but if you want to break that you'll need to overclock the card as I've done. I'm stable with a 108mhz crystal (54mhz clock) getting around 10.5mips. Drop a full 030 on there and the MMU libraries and you'll also get a wee boost in drive speed. All that done you can play CDXL video using AGA Blaster full screen 25fps!
1:08 That's a shocking graph. To see them regularly surpassing $1 billion in yearly revenue yet their yearly profit margin was always near break even. Then again, I guess that's great when you've paid thousands of salaries, etc zero profit is not that bad.
@@MonsterHunterLancer I don't know if it wouldn't have mattered, as selling the CD32 in the US may have had the creditors rethink calling in or at least delaying, and they were ultimately the reason for Commodore's bankruptcy. The 3DO was in a different market that cost big $, had a small game library, and did not sell well. Followed by the Jaguar that was very reasonably priced, but lacked production initially so losing momentum, a small game library, and again not selling great. The CD32 was reasonably priced, had a decent name pedigree, a decent game library, and potentially a huge library available. It sold well in europe despite production squeeze due to trying to open worldwide (huge warehouse of US CD32's not being able to sell) While both consoles were more powerful than the CD32, neither became a must buy, and the CD32 was always a gap filler while they worked on the next gen Amiga chipset. It was basically sold as an Amiga gaming system for convenience, without a keyboard and mouse unless you wanted one. It was quite clever if you think about it. Sell a system with most of the tech already pre existing so R&D costs are minimal. Game companies were well aware of Amiga systems so software would be relatively easy compared to both 3DO and Jaguar so ensuring a good library with extra income for Commodore. Also it helped push CD's into Amiga computer systems to help expand them. Had Commodore sold the PC side of the business instead of just abandoning it, maybe things could have been different at least for a while.
Oh, yea. Doom. Yummy. The boxed set came with capture bags and the space blanket for a little lie down after Andy don't feel so good no more. Just the mention of it. Thanks God there's so few of me that today's video gaming industry does well. They have the greatest cinematic demos. But when you get down into the game, their physics engine takes me back... to the capture bags (not included).
Awesome video as usual. I would've love to see the accelerator with an 68060, that would be sick! That said, is there a reason in particular why all those Amiga expansions and accelerator cards use CF instead of SD cards?
I bought a CD32 and SX-1 brand new. I picked up a second CD32 about 12 years ago. Been thinking about getting the 030 Terriblefire, but saw Stephen was working on a 060 with some other bells & whistles. Waiting to see his final results.
just remeber there are 2 versions PAL and NTSC being in USA I was lucky to get 1 that was NTSC back in '93 due to the only store in ohio that sold amiga stuff Compuquick Media Center they came from Canada too bad i sold it at 18 to buy a car i had SX-1 500mb harddrive and 8mb ram back then eventually ill get a NTSC ver again
kev gardner yup, I'm from Canada, and despite lots of comments to the contrary, the NTSC version of the CD32 was readily available here in Canada unlike in the US. I distinctly remember seeing it in local shops around here in Winnipeg back in 1994.
Great video Dan and for Amiga stuff I actually learned something I wasn't aware of (which is unusual)!!! I will admit to not knowing the A4000 keyboard fitted the Aux port on the CD32! I of course went and tried this with my own A4000 keyboard and following a "well I'll be" moment I now have a fully fledged A1200 in the shape of my CD32 (I also have the Kipper expansion too for RGB etc but not the TF itself since my pimped out A1200 already has an 030 and all sorts so no real need). Interestingly the developer comes along to our Scottish Amiga User Group meetings occasionally :) I'm really enjoying your return to the videos mate :)
I have also added the same TF330 to my CD32 and such a difference, actually it runs faster than my Blizzard 030 '50 on my A1200! Thankfully I had a dark PS2 keyboard and the same Competition Pro Pad that I could use with it and it is very transportable now. I have also 3D printed a cover for it to fit over the back and can sort one for you Dan. I loved the tiny launcher and had not seen that before so will have a look for it......
Duuuuuude! Sweet set up! I knew you could hook it up to make it an A1200 bit never seen it done. Btw, modernvintageGamer on your latest pod was absolutely awesome! Love his work and I'll be keeping that episode
@Dalle Smalhals Surely, I have few made in Last decade, for Amiga one and Strong classics. Frontier class. Will look at it, imperial courier, thank you
just to keep things in perspective: the CD32 was 1991 tech released a year before the Playstation... a machine I would argue was at least 3 years ahead of its time. The CD32 became the complete opposite of what the Amiga 1000/500 represented in the 80s. it absolutely deserved all the disdain it got.
I use the AMIGA CD32 as CD-ROM on my A1200 CD32 Limited Edition case from A1200NET (great combo). And the CD32 Competition Pro controller is superior than the original strange CD32 controller.
Great video thank you for showcasing the CD32 and in particular it paired with the TF card. The CD32 is basically a small form factor A1200 and with the FT330 it is the ultimate Amiga gaming setup. I bought and have my original NTSC CD32 back in the day new and have been running this exact setup and cant say enough good things about it. I found the Sun Race Industrial two years ago and its a perfect fit with the CD32. looking forward to your TF360 video!
I've had one of these for 6 months. Soon after the CD32 came out I snapped one up as the A1200 was too expensive for me, I then saved up again and got the SX1 and used the two as my main computer for BBS, FidoNet and email for quite a few years. In the end the slow rendering of webpages made me give it up. I bought the TF330 after digging out my CD32 and finding the SX1 was no longer working. It's a great system, I just need to get the ESP8266 expansion port working so I can hook up Amiga Explorer with a FTDI cable to my PC (info is a bit scarce, any help/pointers appreciated).
a bit of a clarification. The NTSC version of the CD32 did come out at least in Canada. I vividly recall seeing it in local shops in Winnipeg back in 1994 such as "Adventure Software" on Hargrave street.
At the time cd32 was released , there were better alternatives already.. also, the cd32 doesn't have that many good games either .. better stick to your A500 with the rather large floppy library ;)
Ah, love it Dan. The CD32 is the black sheep of the 32bit systems, but really it has a lot to offer. I had one with the floppy mod. I since passed that one but have the A1200. Hope to pick one up in the future.
Bought a CD32 on day one (my 4th Amiga). It was terrible. The controller was awful and lack of games meant it just stayed in the loft for 30 years. Recently sold it fore more money than I paid for it. Somewhere I have a CDTV that suffered the same fate!
I had a fantastic setup, keyboard, mouse, gotek, and dozens of big box games. I sold it a few years ago for only £150 to buy my daughter's Christmas presents.
It's not my A4000 went way beyond the cd32 Hard drive, disk drive, CD drive Min. 30mhz... Fast Ram expansion slots I also have the toccata 16bit sound card
CD32 with an SX1 expansion was my first AGA Amiga (which I still have today!) it’s amazing what some extra Fast Ram would do to speed up the whole machine! Using an A590 power supply which works well! Dan Wood I 100% agree with you, the 030 is the Sweet Spot for an AGA Machine! AGA won’t go any faster! And I also have an Warp Engine 040 A4000 desktop and genuIne A4000T 060 Cyberstorm! Loved the CD32 and still do, hated the A600 at the time! Vampire has changed my mind some what!
I'm using a A1200 as my "main Amiga". Expanded with 8MB of fast ram and a CF card (+IDE adapter) it allows me to play most of the WHDLoad titles just fine. Tinylauncher is IMHO the best way to run WHDLoad games on any Amiga. I use "Tom" usb joystick adapter, which works in CD32 mode - along with SNES controller (+ SNES usb adapter). Playing this way is quite comfortable. The only thing I miss from CD32 is the lack of CD audio in CD32 games. I would like to buy a CD32 one day, but it's quite pricey.
Too bad Commodore never made the CD1200. I had an original SX-1 which, after adding a 3.1 ROM, made it more like an A1200 but because I could install a '030 in the 1200, I used it more. The CD32 did show the graphics from CD+G CDs; Chris Isaak's Silvertone had a slideshow with lo-res images and lyrics. I could never find a CBM FMV card.
Instead of ??? Why not have both ? ;-) I have a Black + Silver Keyboard for my CD32, but that small one would be nice --- after all we are not going to be doing a lot of typing on it. An FMV card would also be nice but *** Hens Teeth and therefore Very Expensive. Just tried a USB Keybord and it worked ! So have ordered a CiT 8118 Black USB & PS/2 keyboard. It arrived --- it is a pile of poo --- but it works.
Amiga Experts... I'm sure a forum or Facebook group might be a better place to ask this, but any way here goes.. I have a boxed A1200 that I've owned from new, currently in storage. Back in the day I fitted a 3.5" hard drive in it and ran the current workbench of the day. It has a Blizzard A1230 accelerator installed in it. What would you guys do with a machine like that these days (providing it still works!). Run it as is? Rip out the HDD and install a CF drive in it? Any other suggestions? Install a newer workbench? Or move away from the Bilzzard A1230 and install something else? Suggestions appreciated, I'm totally out of touch with current hardware/software. Pretty sure WHDLoad was developed or massively improved after I'd put my Amiga in storage.
Well, not onlzbthe CD32 but AGA in general came way too late and wasn't sufficient as a step up. 99% of interesting Amiga games run on OCS/ECS Amigas. Inclusing all the classic that actually defined the Amiga as a gaming machine. I myself was an insane Amiga enthusiast back then, having anything from an Amiga 1000, through to an Amiga 4000 with 4GB Harddrive, Cyberstorm PCC and Cybervision 3D - and from that I learned, that there's no sense in using anything higher than an Amiga 500 with 1MB Chipram for Gaming. After buying three AGA versions of games (and of course rasing hundreds of tests with screen photos, as usual back then)I didn't even bother about AGA anymore because the visual difference that 256 colors made vs. 32+ (copper..) was just abysmall, only noteable in a direct comparison and even then just minimal. Of course that was clear before, as VGA games neve rlooked better than Amiga games, too, (most actually looked even worse, because of the chunky 30kHz pixels). Yes, there where some nice features in an fully equipped AGA Amiga, yes. I loved it for painting, processing images, making multi channel music, listening mp3, copying copy protected MS-DOS disks with no problem, and burning a lot of Playstation 1 CDs, after I had equipped all my friends Playstations with modchips. Also it was great for scanning and printing in great quality on 24-needle printers and color ink printers, and even an occassional game of Alien Breed 3D, Gloom, Breathless or Wipeout 2097 was knd of fun. It's sad, but all these 'advanced' things, can be done on modern machines much easier, with much higher quality and having more fun. Retro Amiga gaming requires an 1MB Chip Amiga 500, nothing else.
I love all my Amiga's, but the Terrible Fire card in a CD32 make things far more convenient while also taking up very little realestate. I agree I would not play Doom with a 68030, but I rather play gloom or Alien Breed 3D anyway, for I use an Amiga to play Amiga games, not PC titles. Besides, 68030 CPU's are still affordable, while legitimate 68060 cpu's are far too expensive these days and besides as you have mentioned and everyone else, 68030 cpu's provide some umph while being quite compatible still. I scored 2 brand new CD32's from China in 2008. I suppose a bunch of units were stumbled upon in an old warehouse? They sold out via Ebay very quick. I feel fortunate to having purchased two, but I still love to hear my Amiga 1000 boot up!
I'm curious about how many standard Amiga games have since been patched to use the multi-fire button Amiga CD32 controllers [both first party and licensed third party controllers; that Genesis/MegaDrive shaped gamepad looks sweet!]. I'd assume that would be done through WHD Load. That's my biggest pet peeve with the patching done with the Atari ST/STe/TT/Falcon030 scene... the majority aren't patching the games to use the ST Power Pad/JagPad/JagPad Pro Controllers. [although they are when porting the ST games over to the Jaguar]...
"As the CD32 is actually the only Amiga that doesn't natively have RGB video output." This is factually untrue, the revision 4 CD32 motherboard released for the French market has full native RGB output from a 8 pin mini-Din socket which replaces the original 4-pin S-Video found on the older CD32's.
Is the Raspberry Pi the best Amiga available? [spoiler: yes] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6HZXM6cLVUg.html Sysinfo speed comparison results: 247x A600 7x A4000
As an expansion of the Amiga, the CD32 isn't too bad, with add-ons it is essentially an A1200. As a game console coming out in late 1993, the hardware was showing its age. Lots of the games were CD versions of preexisting software, and they featured quirks like music or sfx only and only one button input on the controller. The Amstrad GX4000 and the Commodore 64GS had similar problems, but were even older hardware that could do less than the original.
There's no way to mount CD32 iso files from CF though is there? It'd be nice to get the CD soundtracks playing during gameplay without the need to go to my game library.
@@10MARC For sure... But they won't have the CD audio tracks will they? If I'm playing CDTV Xenon2 for example, you bet I don't want low fi samples of Bomb The Bass crunching through my speakers when I could have full CD audio quality.
@@Stomski No they don't have the CD soundtracks. There are tools that can mount ISO files via the OS, I haven't tried them with games but that's an interesting question. Tbh having the CD-ROM drive in the CD32 and the games not having any copy protection, I just have a big CD wallet full of CD-Rs with the entire library on for when I want to play the CD32 versions.
@@danwood_uk what happens if you have the CD in the drive, but play the CD32 version through WHDLoad? Does the game code still control the CD audio playback or has the drive become unmounted due to boot modification to the ROM? If this works then you'd at least have fast game loading from CF and the audio from CD. There weren't even that many games that used CD Audio tracks, but y'know... Curiosity must be sated!
Why is the 030 50mhz only showing just 0ver 7 MIPS? it is pretty standard high 8's and just over 9 usually? Is it a CD32 thing or a compromise the TF had to make? Just curious.
You mentioned that it was never sold in north america. however that law suit that stopped them from selling it in the usa did not apply to canada some of the ntsc units that were going to be sold in the usa were shipped up to canada and sold there. it did not sell well so the ntsc version are super rare.
To bad the Amiga experience only are available for hardcore Amiga fans. Dont get me started on all the trouble with copyrights and the community fighting for 30-year-old licenses. Unfortunately, the Amiga is very inaccessible to ordinary people.
Too bad you couldn't do say something like the Video Toaster 2000 - 4000 on that. I would have liked to have seen this In America. It would have been cool to own one. Being a Big Sega fan i always felt the Amiga was in the same class as the PC Engine and it felt like a family member to the Genesis and Master System and Sega CD. Too bad it wasn't released here.
Just say if you were to put the motherboard from a CD 32 into one of the Amiga 1200 cases from a1200 . net, how powerful might it be upgradable to given the extra internal room and being a 32 bit machine?
Patents for blinking text cursors?? I can see where Apple got their patent troll ideas from. If they could patent oxygen and get away with it, I'm sure they would.
I love my cd32 and m TF330 which I had your setup I don’t have the tiny launcher thing , is there a way to get a copy of your setup for the cd32? Or dose some one else have a copy or link I can use
I had a great setup back in 1995 work my sx32, a1000 keyboard, internal hdd, 4mb extra fast ram and 2 external FDD. Would love to get it up and running again with the CF adapter like you have
Commodore must have bring out the A1200 CD and not the AMIGA CD32. Had in 1984 the C64 Breadbin FAT 250425 RevA and four years latter a A500. 1992 a A1200 and 1994 i switch to Neo Geo AES and Bally pinballs such as EATPM and Scared Stiff. Now i back with C64’s, A500’s and A1200’s. And have my precious Neo Geo AES in mint state with the best games for it. The pinballs is a repair hobby a to seek the best parts for it. Like to experience with all my stuff and to build so best possible. The A1200’s are very special to have fun with it. Like my A1200 GHOST case alot from A1200NET. Would like the Blizzard 1260 or the ACA1260 to build in. Maybe AMIGA35 goes one and i bring it there. You can see my progress on the Dutch forum Amiga Cafe [user AMIGA JOHAN]. Have alot of pictures on it and do the best way to build great A1200’s.
Huh, I got an Atari XE Game Machine for the very idea that it's a great way to experience the Atari 8-bit games! CD-32 is a great way to experience the 16-bit era too! neat
When the CD32 was being designed in 1993 it was to compete with the Mega CD and Super Nintendo and for the time the CD32 was a decent idea, it sold well and sold a lot of CD titles too in the limited market it was in. The 3DO cost 3 times what the CD32 did - how many people did you know could afford one of those?
I actually don't know anyone who owned a 3do, cd32 or Jaguar back in the day. Says it all about the fait of these consoles. Playstation and saturn on the horizon.
The CD32 was not released in the US was it? it cost £270 (on launch) in the UK from the limited adverts I have checked. In those days $1 was £1 regardless of what the exchange rate was for shoppers.
does Tiny Launcher not have a way to cycle through the alphabet? do you have to start at A and then slowly move through every single duped game on the list?
I have a CD32 with an SX1 and a A4000 keyboard myself. Is there any real reason to upgrade to a TF? I only play classic A500/1200 games. Will the 030 be much of a difference?
There were sooo many competitors in the 32bit game console wars against the sony psx ,but despites their effords, they just couldn’t hold a candle against sony’s psx, probably because sony learned and took advantage of their mistakes they made.
so would it be possible to take an old ps2 keyboard apart for the controller and wire up a button to put on the cd32 for the F key to get back into the menu rather than have a whole keyboard that is hardly used! or even a couple buttons that are mainly used.
I had a CD-32 with SX-1 and loved it. I used a CD-TV keyboard that was altered to have a black keyboard that looks good and I added a external case to put a 3.5" HD inside together with a floppy drive with some DiY. For the rest I added 4 MB fast-ram to upgrade the default 2 MB chip-ram. I remember saving up and buying almost every game that was worth to get the CD-32 version for. Some of the games I remember having the CD-32 version of that I played a lot was Rise of the Robots, Roadkill, Jetstrike and Microcosm. I was sad to replace it with my first MS-Dos/Windows based machine.
