Thats the stupid mistake Commodore made when they designed the CD32...to compete against the Pathetic MegaDrive/MegaCD which was popular in UK but seriously pathetic here in USA

Commodore UK didnt get out much let me tell you. And this was Commodores problem with other Amigas.....I used the CD32 as an example ...

No.
Their mistake was to take the profit they made with the Amiga line and to put it in the development of their inferior and overpriced x86 PC line - instead of putting it in the development of new cutting edge Amiga products...

On what planet do you live , mate?
If a product is well received in the US, it does not automatically mean that the rest of the world will receive it equally well.

Its not that the people over here would all start jumping off bridges - just because people in the USA do so...

Reminds me of an old joke:
"We are the fastest.
While all the others are still stumblig, we're already lying on the ground..."

We need Japanese Games and Psygnosis games back!  (a UK company by the way ;-))

I think what you're really trying to say is *NOT* that we need *Japanese* games, but that we need *GOOD* games.

Needless to say that I'm not a gaming kid at all - I bought my first Amiga because of its graphical and multitasking capabilities and because it was far superior compared to the x86 PCs back in those days - not because of some childish games...

Although I have to admit that I loved to "play" with my Amiga: doing constructions using 3d-CAD soft, doing mathematical calculations, doing raytracing and the like.
