AMIGA CD 32

  

Amiga CD 32 Console, Box, and Full motion video module

 

The first 32 bit console ever made, follow-up to the failed Amiga CDTV console. Commodore went the Atari XE route and packaged an Amiga 1200 into a game system shell. So this system is technically compatible with Amiga 1200 software (some of it doesn't work without the computer add-on because of memory constraints.) An add -on was released that turned this console into a full fledged Amiga 1200 computer, at a fraction of the price. There was a problem; while the Amiga 1200 was a decent computer it sucked as a game machine. There were some firsts with this system, like FMV games that weren't all grainy, and video CD movies, but most of the software was only slightly more advanced than what was on the SNES or Genesis at the time. Can read music CDs, many CD TV games, Kareoke CDs, CD+G, Photo CDs, and VCDs (with FMV module that is.) Sold mostly in Europe with a small American Release.
