hey bitch if you dont know nothing about games and consoles, better stay in your ass hole and never do videos. I would beat you just for your stupid accent . . .
Well, yes I have heard of it, as every Amiga user. While CDTV was first CD computer ever, yes CD32 was first CD console. Its basically cut down Amiga1200, and you could expand it to full computer including keyboard, 68030 turbo card etc. I agree the box and controler are plastic crappy, but it was standard of the time . Yes, it`s not for the USA, since USA is not exactly center of the world. Yes, it was last Commodore thing.
Games were at first A1200 conversions, but later become full scale.
Amiga była niesamowita w tamtych czasach. Ty jesteś zbyt młody albo masz zbyt małą wiedzę żeby robić takie "przeglądy". Za 20 lat najlepszy dzisiejszy sprzęt do grania będzie opisywany jako żałosna, toporna zabawka.
that's a fuckin lie!! Amiga cd-32 claimed itself as a 32bit game console but just like the atari jaguar vit was just a suped up 16 bit console at best!!!
Please, PLEASE do not throw those gameboxes like that! They're in mint condition and some of em are on my MOST WANTED list! It breaks my heart to see them abused like that ;(
I actually bought one of those here in NL and I still have fond memories of it (and my other amigas. This console is mostly an Amiga-fan only device).
Also, some factual errors in your review, but hey, I'm a fanboy, and they're always pretty anal about their favo system. Liked the review though

i LOVE MINE... sTILL PAYING it off on my pay pal.. But since I have a 3 Demonoid Accounts and you can download CD32games and burn them on your PC and they work with my CD32 Console. I say it was well worth the while....
Clearly, you know nothing of the Commodore culture that existed in the day. For example, that power supply brick you derided was lovingly replicated from the Commodore 64 era (they had long since gone with cheaper, more modern power supply designs). Also, the "FM Towns Marty something or that" was actually running on a 16 bit data bus, so you're wrong. The CD32 was the best console with some of the greatest games for the price; it simply sunk with the rest of the mismanaged ship.
Nice collection, but you don't deserve any of these games and the console itself, since you apparently don't know what you're talking about. In fact, think I hate you for treating them like shit (throwing the games around, hitting the console, wtf?!)
This video is very educating in the realm of videogame consoles! 8D Thank you for posting it, I wouldn't have known about CD32's greatest oddities otherwise.
Few things: There were TV ads for CD32 and there were ads. You could win CD32s on game shows, there were ads in mags etc. Plenty of ads really.
Also there were games made specifically for CD32 (and CDTV). The most well-known one for CD32 was probably Microcosm which streamed FMV from the disc as you played. That would not have been possible to do on floppies at the time, even though the A1200 was technically capable of playing it.
Also some games (AB3D, Fears) ran better on CD32 due to Akiko.
The CD32 was the first of the 32 bit consoles that not only could just play games, could play Video CDS with an adaptor and also expand to be A full amiga Computer with a keyboard and drive.
It;s downfall was not the games, but Commodore going bust and company that bought Amiga did not support the CD32.and they eventually went bust too.
Worms was one of the best games on there and the machine did sell well. But with the Playstation and sony backing it. It was Doomed. Great machine though.
besides its 2010....But i guess a video from 2008 will make an OLD machine justice to consoles today? are u stupid for real or are u STUPID by someonelse?...What a fucking idiot u are!
fucking stupid? well u might be like 20 years old....the amiga cd32 sold LOADS...it even hade their OWN newspaper on that time with demos u could buy etc. And i BET u dont even fucking know how a controller to the fucking amig looked like from the first place? well ive been there from the start... Amiga, commodore, nes, snes philips cdi etc.....so u clearly dont know what THE FUCK u talk about!.....Go grow some penis idiot! and btw in that time the controller were king....
@DeanoTheLegend87 Nothing to do with anger issue m8 . Somewillie could be a little bit polite i agree . But all in all , i am like that guy , i was there wen Amiga unix/linux was kicking the shit out of all the console out at that time(yea even Playstation) .I respect You deano IF you missed that moment ..but please do not call some retro great hardware (shit or rubbish) you do not know what it was . Never the less good video !!
with cdtv about it was nowonder they released a 32bit version, when they say worlds first they mean the worlds first 32bit console that can use it in games :P everything on the FMTM was no diffrent to a sega master system heh yet it had a amd386 processor clocked at 16mhz but like pcs games was dependent on it and struggled where as the cd32 didnt rely on its processor for graphic routines as it was all hardware also producing 262,144 colors on-screen the fm would fry showing 256 heh
Nice review! Are you knowledgeable about Amiga hardware? You should do more reviews based on that technology like the actual computers. They were rather nice machines that blew away PCs and even Macs during their heyday in the mid 80s to mid 90s.
Awesome Review Mate!! I have been trying to find one of these for nearly half a decade now and still cant find one, it seems like if it hit American Borders they self destruct! Hey send me a friend invite on PSN and Ill add ya!
I realized that I gave you the wrong screen name on your main page, it is not LCDragonrats, thats my old screen name I closed out, sorry mate, but it is JimmyLSanchez
Dude, I like you and I wouldn't harp on you for reviewing such a weird console BUT...
When you mention the Atari Jag it is the "jag-war." Besides me thinking you're putting way too many syllables in the world jaguar, the Jag was designed and built by Americans. So technically you should say it like an American (at least in the console context) :)
why should you? if you're english, say it in an english way, i doubt any of us properly pronunciate japanese systems the same way that a native japanese would.
he is wrong on all accounts it was being sold in the us in 1990 and sold alot only the c64 sold more.The reason why theyplayed like the a1200 -they both use superior technology -which stil is ahead of almost all except for the ps3 as the ps3 is a clone of the amiga
I have had the cd32 for years, i got it mainly for liberation, which is really fiddly to play on the cd32, i will get some more games, the ones i have got are not that good,.
The FM towns! haha well done, you done your reasearch! have you seen the graphical makeovers on that platform? Quite spectacular. Shadow Of The Beast, and Splatterhouse look amazing on it.
Of course I remember the CD-32!!! Im a gamer!! Never had one, graphics and sound were no better than the 1200 ( despite what they said! ). An expensive attempt to be seen as a proper "games platform". and to stop piracy!
It sure was, I bought one from Dick Smith Electronics around christmas 93 and got most of my games from there aswell, ended up selling it in 95 to get an accelerated A1200.
I've picked up a couple of CD32s of late, going through a bit of a retro phase at the moment.
hey I noticed that the D-Pad on your Cd32 is different to mine, Mine is just a flat with four slightly raised little bumps ,it doesn`t have the angular cuts that your has, btw you got a better deal than I did , as you got quite a few games with yours and in the big box`s, I like lunar-c & overkill, the main problem for me at least ,really is the official controller ,its just awfull, not responsive,Though I am now going to try out the megadrive pad thanks,handy tip!!
On soccer: I love how British folks all seem to get pissed off at this word, even though the word was coined in England. It always seems to be the British though, because Americans, Canadians, Irishmen, Australians, New Zealanders, and even fucking South Africans all say soccer (at least to distinguish the game from the local/national rugby-type football). So yeah, you're fighting a losing battle there. :P
And the review was awesome. Very funny, especially the controller anger in the intro.
Oh, you know the D-pad is actually stuck over the original D-Pad design on the official controller? It's pretty easy to prise off, it's just a bit of tape holding it on.
Google searching FM Towns pulls a device that looks like a PC. Wikipedia says the console you showed in that magazine is the FM Towns Marty that came out in 1993 for Japan.
When you think about it. CD32 was the first 32-bit system to come to Europe.
Present yourself better, write a loose script, tut less, cut away/edit to stuff you're talking about, stop banging on the plastic console so close to the mic, etc
That Frontier CD version is actually pretty funny, if I remember correctly the entire game fits on a single DD floppy disc, and the CD version has nothing extra tn it....
It can also play Amiga/Amiga 1200 games to a certain extent. But you will need an add-on module to convert it into an Amiga 1200 with hd/dd and keyboard.
But there are CD complilations u can download which contains lots of ordinary amiga games which you rucan n directly by booting the disc in the cd32. Of course, some games require a keyboard and you might be unable to save without a HD/DD, but most games are playable.
Good review mate, I remember seeing one of these running in a store in yorkshire shortly after release, had an a1200 at the time, which could be hooked up to a cd rom drive and with some clever software, would play cd32 games.
High points were probably team 17s arcade pool and ultimate body blows and the console's version of super street fighter 2 turbo
Cool video! Comment to DeanoTheLegend87: do you believe I actually searched for the words "amiga cd 32" and I found your video? I remember this console because I always bought the Amiga Magazine.
1.14 thats typical of the americans, they want you to pronounce it the same way they do, well excuse me americans for not pronouncing it as "ja-goo-ar"
A lot of them actually physically cannot say Jaguar properly, I've heard loads of Americans try to say it the proper English way, but usually comes out "Jag-wire". Bless 'em.
you dont have to "review" a console that has ben done a million times before, if you were doing a well known console you could maybe do a top 5 or top 10 of your favourite consoles, something like that
The FM Towns Marty was a video game console released in 1991 by Fujitsu, exclusively for the Japanese market. It was the first 32-bit home video game system, and had a CD-ROM and disk drive built in. It was based on the FM Towns computer system Fujitsu had released in 1989. The Marty was backward-compatible with older FM Towns games. A second system, the FM Towns Marty 2, was released late in the system's life.
those shitty turbo pads you say are infact the best controllers for this system as the original ones are even more shocking, good vids buy the way keep it up
How do you own an amiga and don't know what rise of the robots is??? i seriously suggest you play it now, to witness one of the worst games in living history
I recently sold my FMV unit for mine for £100 on ebay, great unit though originally it was due to be sold for £199 but they saw Sega's price of MD £129 plus MCD attacement £269 = £400 so they upped it to £299, which was a poor decision imo they should have sold it for either £199 or £299 with upping the CPU to 030 and adding 4mb fast ram....but thats all history!
Good review, though that 'joystick' port you mentioned is for a keyboard, the joysticks go in the normal 9 pin sockets!
They also did advertise with that dodgy microcosm advert and got good press with chris evans endorsing it, it had a great start selling all 100,000 ever made in those 6 months, of course when C: when bankrupt (thank C: USA for that!) devs stopped all proper CD32 dev, so no real exclusives and the rest just ported A500/1200 games to make a quick buck.
nice review! i bought one of these the other day with like 10 games, and a load of demos, boxed and with a controller for 27quid on ebay. i have to say theyre pretty nice looking but the controller is cheap (the dpad plastic is just stuck on and after a while of playing, the glue gets warm and the plastic just slides off!) but this thing is lacking in any real must have games, which is a common trend with consoles like this and the 3d0, jaguar, lynx, gx4000 (got one of those, boxed too!) etc..
i used to have one of these as a kid and i wish i still had it because theyre worth a fortune! it got stolen from my cousins house! im gutted still haha
i owned one, gutted i dont own one now :(

Aaah the CD32! I had an Amiga 600, then got an Amiga 1200 as at the time (around 1993) a lot of games were heading in an A1200-only direction.
Alas, Commodore went tits up so I was left with a computer that no-one made games for anymore and Commodore was left with a warehouse full of CD32's.
If only Commodore could have made decent tv ads!

The FM towns! haha well done, you done your reasearch! have you seen the graphical makeovers on that platform? Quite spectacular. Shadow Of The Beast, and Splatterhouse look amazing on it.
! you should get a hold of one and do a review!

Of course I remember the CD-32!!! Im a gamer!! Never had one, graphics and sound were no better than the 1200 ( despite what they said! ). An expensive attempt to be seen as a proper "games platform". and to stop piracy!
Good review though m8!

Did Commodore just use the Commodore 64 AC Adaptor for the CD32? That AC Adaptor reminds me of the C64 one.

Does anybody know if the CD32 was ever available in Australia? I'm guessing it wasn't because if its short shelf life.
Lachlant1984 2 years ago
It sure was, I bought one from Dick Smith Electronics around christmas 93 and got most of my games from there aswell, ended up selling it in 95 to get an accelerated A1200.
I've picked up a couple of CD32s of late, going through a bit of a retro phase at the moment.

6.55-7.02 i think the power unit is made as a seperate block so that it ends with a normal plug, otherwise the plug would be that massive block

hey I noticed that the D-Pad on your Cd32 is different to mine, Mine is just a flat with four slightly raised little bumps ,it doesn`t have the angular cuts that your has, btw you got a better deal than I did , as you got quite a few games with yours and in the big box`s, I like lunar-c & overkill, the main problem for me at least ,really is the official controller ,its just awfull, not responsive,Though I am now going to try out the megadrive pad thanks,handy tip!!

On soccer: I love how British folks all seem to get pissed off at this word, even though the word was coined in England. It always seems to be the British though, because Americans, Canadians, Irishmen, Australians, New Zealanders, and even fucking South Africans all say soccer (at least to distinguish the game from the local/national rugby-type football). So yeah, you're fighting a losing battle there. :P
And the review was awesome. Very funny, especially the controller anger in the intro.

Lulz. Jaguar's pronounced the latter way in the U.S. Deal with it. And 3 is pronounced "three", not "free", teehee.

Oh, you know the D-pad is actually stuck over the original D-Pad design on the official controller? It's pretty easy to prise off, it's just a bit of tape holding it on.
I guess They didn't like the original design.

Google searching FM Towns pulls a device that looks like a PC. Wikipedia says the console you showed in that magazine is the FM Towns Marty that came out in 1993 for Japan.
When you think about it. CD32 was the first 32-bit system to come to Europe.
3DO is the first 32-bit system in North America.
and FM Towns Marty was Japan.

canada had the amiga cd first, so the 3d0 was the first 32 bit cd system in the USA.

It can also play Amiga/Amiga 1200 games to a certain extent. But you will need an add-on module to convert it into an Amiga 1200 with hd/dd and keyboard.
But there are CD complilations u can download which contains lots of ordinary amiga games which you rucan n directly by booting the disc in the cd32. Of course, some games require a keyboard and you might be unable to save without a HD/DD, but most games are playable.

Good review mate, I remember seeing one of these running in a store in yorkshire shortly after release, had an a1200 at the time, which could be hooked up to a cd rom drive and with some clever software, would play cd32 games.
High points were probably team 17s arcade pool and ultimate body blows and the console's version of super street fighter 2 turbo

The FM Towns Marty was a video game console released in 1991 by Fujitsu, exclusively for the Japanese market. It was the first 32-bit home video game system, and had a CD-ROM and disk drive built in. It was based on the FM Towns computer system Fujitsu had released in 1989. The Marty was backward-compatible with older FM Towns games. A second system, the FM Towns Marty 2, was released late in the system's life.

I recently sold my FMV unit for mine for £100 on ebay, great unit though originally it was due to be sold for £199 but they saw Sega's price of MD £129 plus MCD attacement £269 = £400 so they upped it to £299, which was a poor decision imo they should have sold it for either £199 or £299 with upping the CPU to 030 and adding 4mb fast ram....but thats all history!

Good review, though that 'joystick' port you mentioned is for a keyboard, the joysticks go in the normal 9 pin sockets!
They also did advertise with that dodgy microcosm advert and got good press with chris evans endorsing it, it had a great start selling all 100,000 ever made in those 6 months, of course when C: when bankrupt (thank C: USA for that!) devs stopped all proper CD32 dev, so no real exclusives and the rest just ported A500/1200 games to make a quick buck.

nice review! i bought one of these the other day with like 10 games, and a load of demos, boxed and with a controller for 27quid on ebay. i have to say theyre pretty nice looking but the controller is cheap (the dpad plastic is just stuck on and after a while of playing, the glue gets warm and the plastic just slides off!) but this thing is lacking in any real must have games, which is a common trend with consoles like this and the 3d0, jaguar, lynx, gx4000 (got one of those, boxed too!) etc..

Great review! Nice background info.
But if you're going to let everyone know how to properly pronounce Jaguar...
...I've got to let you know is pronounced "three" not "free."
Is that a cat I hear purring in the background?
Regardless... solid, solid review. TONS of great background info.
