I love my CD32.
I remember how mesmerised I was when I first saw one in a Commodore friendly computer shop running the Microcosm intro. I didn't buy one when they first came out because I'd rather spend the money on A1200 upgrades.
Earlier this decade I ran into a gaming computer/console collector. He had a veritable museum. He only had one CD32 but was prepared to contact me if and when he came across another. Several months later he called me as he had a line on a CD32, still in its original packaging, almost every CD32 title released and several CDTV titles, and an SX-1 expansion.
I picked it up the next day. I ran the SX-1 add-on for a while but I soon abandoned it, it's so ungainly, plus I have an A1200 for retro computing. There are many quick and dirty AGA title ports but some of them are lots of fun and have that little extra something. I love Superfrog.
I even have a few editions of EDGE magazine that lists the CD32 amongst the gaming systems covered.
How many people you think ever used it as a CD player?
