CD32 Gaming

Kind of like a music video to the various AmigaCd32 games I have. Music is Higher by creed, games featured our: Super Skidmarks, Frontier Elite 2, Kid Chaos, UFO Enemy Unknown, Project X, Lotus Trilogy, Bamshee, Chaos Engine, Prey An Alien Encounter, Jetstrike, Oscar, Digger and finally Guardian. I may make two more simular vidoes one to cover some of my fav A1200 gaming and one to cover the later generation of Amiga gaming, and then that might be it for this silly videos.

As much as I like the Amiga, there is not one single game in this video that compares to any other 32 bit system. Every game is decidedly 16bit. Almost all of the games on this system are direct Amiga 500 ports (and some 1200 ports). I don't know if there are any cd32 only games. I have a 1200 with a hard disk and can play probably 100% of the games (actually with my scsi cd-rom, I think I can play all the cd32 games).

Microcosm, Little Devil, and Oscar I believe where the only real CD32 exclusives and only Microcosm showed the full cd32 power, shame the gameplay wasn't that good.

hmm, why couldn't he just have used the music and sfx from the games... Instead of a shitty Creed song... fucked the whole video up.

u choose a shitty song for this video... fuck I hate creed... 1 star...

@HerecomestheCalavera And Little Divil was also on the CD-i, and Oscar on the SNES. So... the Amiga CD32 has no true exclusives?

What happened to the other 16 bits?!

@amigang Microcosm was also available on the 3DO

@blade004 Commodore had killed the Amiga long before it reached the Gateway stage. It's a real shame, they had such a lead on the competition with the A500 and failed to capitalise on it. The C128, CDTV, CD32 and A1200 were all too little too late from Commodore, and too much like recycled hardware.

Jay Miner was a legend, the rest couldn't keep up.

@mynamesforest Not to mention they were going into a crowded market in the first place. You had the snes, the Genesis, Neo Geo and the Atari Jaguar . They were also losing their edge against the PC and the AGA chipset was too little too late. It's a shame. But you are right, it's a great system to emulate and use proper gaming controls.

@christo930 It's a real shame, and one of the factors that meant it didn't take off. People aren't stupid, they weren't going to buy a system that runs all of the games they already have, or in the case of games like IK+ have had for 5 years already.

On the positive side, as the CD32 had no keyboard and all games were played with a joypad, it's a great system to emulate and play games on today with a modern joypad, especially if you run emu's in an arcade cabinet with no keyboard ;)

I can see why people arent so hot for this system considering it was basically an A1200 with a CD drive but I would rather have one of these over any regular amiga for a few reasons:

1.) No bloody disk swapping!

2.) 100% backwards compatibility if disk based games are required (though external floopy drive needed

3.) Sheer convenience and size

4.) Playing Guardian with a CD32 pad over the clumbsy keyboard/mouse control and its awesome music is win!

Though dont get a CD32 for FPS...

@gillianx68000

you got it wrong, fm towns featured 386sx cpu, which wasnt 32bit.

How can run ultimate skidmarks with this speed and fluency?
