I'm not trying to be blunt but the reason the multimedia revolution failed was because it was all crap. A quick look at the CDTV and what do you find - no software worth a bother (except for simcity) and it was obviously nothing more than an A500 in a CD player case, etc, etc.
Why? what was the point of it all? How can you use a computer on a CD player type remote anyway? Not even today does this happen. The multimedia computer makes no sense to me. Exactly what is it supposed to be/do?
I remember in school around about 1992 they were trying to brainwash us by using "multimedia" posters all over the place. I remember seeing a poster raving on about using a CD on a computer and how cool it was. I also remember seeing our computer teacher showing us a CD video called "speed" on a pee cee pentium 80Mhz. He made us watch it because it was the future of computing. Hard to think he was an active Amiga user. Apart from that i can't remember much about the "multimedia revolution".
p.s. I am very drunk so excuse me if this post makes no sense
